Hotels in Khao Lak, Thailand
Khao Lak is a laid-back coastal region on Thailand's Andaman Sea, famous for its long sandy beaches and being the main gateway to the Similan and Surin Islands. The tropical climate stays warm year-round, with highs around 88°F (31°C); the dry season from November to April brings calm seas perfect for snorkeling or diving at Richelieu Rock, while the rainy season from May to October swells waterfalls like Ton Chong Fa and drops hotel prices. You'll find different vibes along the coast-Bang Niang for night markets and budget eats, Khao Lak Beach for family-friendly resorts, and Khuk Khak for quieter stretches-making it easy to pick your spot based on what you want to do.
