Khao Lak is a family oriented tourist area with some very good resorts and prices which which are generally above average for Thailand. The other issue for travellers on a smaller budget is that public transport is very limited in Khao Lak, meaning to get around you generally need to take taxis or rent your own vehicle. What Khao Lak does have, however, is great beaches and superb diving particularly in the Similan Islands which are about 65 km off the coast. The Khao Lak\u2013Lam Ru National Park is also worth visiting with great walks that will take you to some large waterfalls and great viewpoints. The national park also has abundant wildlife, trees and flowers."}]
