About Khao Lak
This small scenic town is in fact a cluster of villages, boasting almost bucolic ambiance, nice beaches, and lush surrounding nature.
Khao Lak is a series of villages, now tourist-oriented. The name "Khao Lak" literally means "Lak mountain". Lak mountain is one of the main peaks in the hilly small mountainous region within Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park. The town is popular for its serene ambiance and as a departure point for liveaboard scuba diving trips to the Similan Islands. Though Thailand's economy is mostly export-dependent, Khao Lak remains mostly tourist-dependent, with surrounding agriculture and commercial fishing making up a small contribution to Thailand's overall economy. Don't forget to visit the beach when you're in the area.
