2025 Khao Lak Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Sala Restaurant, located by the pool at the JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort Suites, offers Nanyang cuisine and light brunch options. It's an ideal place to relax until the afternoon. As a restaurant that emphasizes healthy and light dishes, the flavors are relatively simple and fresh. However, the prices are slightly on the higher side, which is expected from a five-star resort restaurant. Fortunately, the service is quite good. We visited the restaurant for a late brunch after checking out to pass the time. We ordered a ham and cheese salad and a laksa grilled meat rice. The presentation was quite simple, but the overall dining environment was very chill, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely afternoon.

#Natural attractions Hat Nang Tang is a beautiful beach with a great atmosphere. The highlight is the black sand. When the sea level drops to its lowest, you can see a wide area of ​​black sand. This makes it a place where people talk about the strangeness of the beach and call it “Black Sand Beach”. There are also small rocks with beautiful and strange colors. There are also shells and small fish in the crevices of the rocks. We really like the atmosphere here. It’s so nice to sit and relax while watching the sunset.

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #NangThongBeach #KhaoLak #PhangNga Black Sand Beach Another beautiful check-in spot in PhangNga Province. Because in the past, there was a tin mine in this area. As a result, there were mineral fragments mixed with sand in many places. But it's not like you can find black sand all over the beach every day. Some days you find a lot, some days you find less. The waves in the sea also have an effect. #EatTravelWithJee #kintiewkubjee #PhangNgaAttractions #BlackSandBeach #BlackSandBeach #NangThongBeach

#getgoing2025 This place serves not great and fresh food but the owner and her team make you so welcome. The ambiance is second to none. We have already eaten here 3 times ans will rerurn before we leave - live music later in the evening ensures you dont really have to leave your table. Just a fantastic place and great owners who even took us home to the hotel one evening.

#getgoing2025 We adored this place so much that we would stroll for hours every day from our resort since it was so quiet and there wasn't many people there at this time of year. There are many of restaurants and pubs to enjoy along the route, and massages are a must after all of the wonderful strolling.

#getgoing2025 From the time we arrive the staff were welcoming, friendly and eager to make our stay a memorable one. On our stay we felt special and we recommend La Vela to everyone, family’s and couples. Such a lovely relaxing holiday. We had a pool access room which was the best. Food at the hotel was top quality. La vela is walking distance to the shops and restaurant's. If unable to walk they will drive you to the Main Street no problems at all. Can’t wait to go back

New hotel in Khao Lak area, Khao Lak Marriott Beach Resort & Spa Just opened on December 1st, the usable area is spacious There are 3 swimming pools for service It is still open at about 50%, so the number of guests is not much Overall, there may still be some minor flaws, but they are not serious But one thing that impressed me is that all the staff provided service with a smile and a very lovely heart If I have the chance, I will go back to stay again. This time, it was dark and cloudy, and there was a little rain on the first day of arrival. I will go back on a clear day, the sea will be even more beautiful #Review of beautiful accommodation #Good atmosphere accommodation #Natural attractions

#Natural attractions Nang Thong Beach, Khao Lak, Phang Nga Province A popular beach. The highlight here is the black sand beach. In the past, this province used to be a mining province. At this point, when the tide comes in, we will see black sand blowing in. The sand is very sparkling. And nearby, there is a view of the lighthouse in the middle of the water. If the tide goes out, you can walk there. It is a beach with a good atmosphere. There are many small rocks. It is very beautiful and unusual.

When thinking of Khao Lak, many people might imagine beachfront hotels. However, on this trip, we used Khao Lak as a stopover and didn't prioritize staying by the sea. That's how we discovered Hotel Gahn, a Design Hotel that beautifully incorporates the cultural essence of Takuapa into its modern and elegant design. Location🏢 The hotel is conveniently located on the main road in the heart of Khao Lak. There are many shops around the hotel, and it's not far from popular tourist spots and famous restaurants. Room 🛏️ Absolutely wonderful! The room is beautifully decorated, and the bed is soft and comfortable (better than some 5-star hotels). The large bathtub can fit two people comfortably, even for someone like me who is 180 cm tall. Everything in the room is perfectly arranged. Food 🍛 For dinner, we initially planned to eat outside, but it was too crowded, so we returned to the hotel. I must say, the best food was right there in the hotel. Highly recommended! The Southern Thai food is flavorful and beautifully presented, with prices comparable to outside restaurants. Breakfast features local Phang Nga dishes and various egg menus. It's not a buffet, but you can ask for refills anytime. If you have a trip to Khao Lak, Hotel Gahn could be a new option for those who don't prioritize beachfront stays or for those who are already planning to visit the islands and don't mind not being by the sea. This hotel truly meets the needs, and the price is reasonable.

A relaxing trip on Khao Lak. Good rates due to low season and was pleasantly blessed with good weather.

JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa Spanning over 50 acres, the resort features elegant Thai-style buildings. Despite its age, it doesn't feel old due to recent renovations. The area is lush with trees, and the staff maintains the garden well, so you rarely see fallen leaves. The resort has 293 rooms across 5 buildings, with room sizes ranging from 55 sqm to 140 sqm. I was lucky to get an upgrade to a Duplex Suite, which was beautifully designed, spacious, and comfortable. There are 4 restaurants offering international, Thai, Japanese, and Italian cuisines. I tried the Japanese and Italian dishes, which were delicious, but I especially loved the Pad Thai here. The gym is open 24 hours. Although the ceiling is low and feels a bit cramped, it is well-equipped. There's also free bicycle rental for 1 hour. The swimming pool is wide and beautiful, with some parts extending over 1.9 km. The beach offers free activities like kayaking and more. The beach in this area is wide and long, with firm sand suitable for running 3-4 kilometers. The morning air is very refreshing. 10/10

This 5-day trip to Phuket is amazing. We stayed at Ramada Khao Lak which is 1.5 hours away from the airport. The small province was so clean and the locals are really friendly. Will definitely bring my family back here.

The entrance is near the Khao Lak Shrine. You need to buy a ticket to enter the park, and then you can drive in. There are accommodations inside, but it's quite quiet. There is also a wooden staircase leading down to Khao Lak Beach (it's sturdy). Khao Lak Beach might not be suitable for swimming as it's full of rocks of various sizes. Instead, you can take a leisurely walk on the rocks and take some photos.

At The Sands Khao Lak, kids delight in the beach's beauty. They race along the soft, golden sands, their laughter mixing with the sound of gentle waves. Some build sandcastles, while others splash in the crystal-clear waters of Khao Lak, chasing tiny fish. The sun sets, painting the sky, but their fun is endless. #thesandskhaolak #Hardestsendoff
