Frequently asked questions
About Khao Lak
Khao Lak is a series of villages located on the west coast of Thailand, facing the Andaman Sea. The area is known for its stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and vibrant coral reefs. The currency used in Thailand is the Thai Baht. Khao Lak offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, with opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and exploring nearby national parks.
When to visit
The best time to visit Khao Lak is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. During this time, you can expect sunny days and clear skies, perfect for beach activities and water sports. The wet season, from May to October, brings heavy rainfall and rough seas, making it less ideal for outdoor activities.
Getting around
Getting around Khao Lak is relatively easy, with options including taxis, tuk-tuks, and motorbike rentals. Many attractions are within walking distance of each other, and organized tours often include transportation. Renting a scooter is a popular choice for exploring the area at your own pace.
Traveller tips
Pack light and breathable clothing for the hot and humid weather. Be sure to carry insect repellent, as mosquitoes can be prevalent in the area. Respect the local culture by dressing modestly when visiting temples or rural villages. Bargaining is common in markets, so don't be afraid to negotiate prices. Stay hydrated and use sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun.
