There are many beaches all the way from Phuket to Takuapa such
as Thai Muang Beach, Bangnieng Beach, Khao Lak Beach and Bangsak
Beach. But Khao Lak beach is the most popular beach for many tourists
because the beach is clean and long with golden sand where most
of the resorts are located.
Khao Lak Beach is well known
for tourists who love to stay in a remotely area because the beach
is very quiet and no bars or entertainment close to the beach.
Tourists can also get to Similan and Surin Islands by chartered
boats leave from Thap Lamu Pier in Thai Muang District (30 minutes
from Khao Lak beach) and take about 3 hours to reach the islands.
