Thailand :: Khao Lak

Khao Lak is located on the Andaman coast around 100km north of Phuket and is widely considered to be the gateway to the Similans. The dive operators in Khao Lak offer speedboat trips and can get you to the Similans in around an hour and twenty minutes. Diving from here is a little more expensive here but it does offer the convenience of getting to and from premier dive sites without the hassle and extra expense of booking a liveaboard trip.

The town itself has largely recovered from the 2004 tsunami and is a pleasent place for a relaxing holiday with several good beaches, plenty of resorts and a number of fine restaurants.
