Khao Lak information, Khao Lak beach, Khao Lak hotels, beach, Khao Lak attractions , tourism, tourists, island, beaches.

Pine trees line the rather yellow sand on the south end and the more white sand at the northern end of the very long Kao Lak beach. 

In the rainy season the clouds coming on from the Indian Ocean stall on the hills along the coast from Mergui or Myeik in Myanmar down to Khao Lak and bring plenty of rain.

The other month from about November to May the sun is out almost every day. Just the right place for a lazy Khao Lak beach vacation. There is nothing around in Khao Lak but beach, beach resorts and some small villages along the excellent road from Phuket to Ranong.

The region from Ranong down to Khao Lak is Thailand Muslim county,

in every town and hamlet along the excellent road one can see small mosques from where the the voices of the muezzins can be heard, - not direct in the center of Khao Lak- . Men with the Hajji cap and women with the scarf are common.

Rather seldom are totally covered women where one only see the eyes, I wonder how they can stand this immense heat and especially the humidity, it must be like a moving sauna under this black cloth. Sometimes the spirit houses show a different direction of believe.  

Khao Lak was a tragic place in southern Thailand's   disaster.
