Khao Lak is located on the west coast of Thailand and is the jumping off point for trips to the Similan Islands, considered to be Thailand’s most beautiful islands.

The Similan Islands are home to Thailand’s most famous and iconic dive sites with dramatic underwater landscapes and a huge variety of marine species. They can be visited by day boat or by liveaboard. The eastern sites of the island offer interesting wall dives filled with soft coral and marine life. The western dive sites are rockier and rougher bottom formations filled with caves and caverns.

Blessed with great beaches and bordered by superb national parks, Khao Lak appeals to divers and non-divers alike and is a world away from the commercialism of Phuket.
