Where to book in Khao Lak: our two picks

Khao Lak is a long quiet beach north of Phuket. Our exclusive pick is a 56-residence boutique on its own beach; our accessible pick is a 96-room hotel five minutes from Nang Thong beach.

By Kylian Dev

  • One independent address
  • One mid-range option on Trip.com
  • Weak points written down

Our short list

  • The Sarojin — 60 Moo 2, Kukkak, Takuapa, Phang Nga. The independent address we would book for something with character.
  • The Leaf on The Sands — 40 Moo 6, Kukkak, Takua Pa, near Nang Thong Beach. The easier, mid-range choice.

Best season: November to April; the Andaman sea is rough from May to October.
