Hotels in Khao Lak, Thailand
Khao Lak sits on Thailand's Andaman Sea coast, famous for its pristine beaches and as the gateway to the Similan Islands' world-class snorkeling. The tropical climate brings dry winters (November to April) with temperatures averaging 82°F (28°C), perfect for diving at Richelieu Rock or hiking to Ton Chong Fa Waterfall, while rainy summers (May to October) offer lush green landscapes and low-season hotel deals, ideal for exploring the Tsunami Memorial Park or kayaking through Khao Sok National Park's limestone canyons. If you're after calm waters, head to Bang Niang beach in high season; for surfing, try the southern beaches like Khuk Khak during the monsoon swells.
