Lam Ru National Park Viewpoint
Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park covers the hills and coastline immediately south of Khao Lak's resort strip, and its viewpoint is the easiest way to see what the coast looked like before the hotels: forest running down to headlands, small rocky bays, and the Andaman Sea opening west.
The lookout is reached from the main coastal road, with the park's visitor facilities nearby, and short trails run from the same point down towards the shore and inland into the forest. It is a common stop on the drive between Khao Lak and Phuket, and the western outlook makes late afternoon the best time.
- Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park — Forested hills running down to the Andaman shore, with headland viewpoints above the coast road.
- The Tsunami Museum, Khao Lak — A small museum at Bang Niang recording the 2004 tsunami on the Khao Lak coast.
- Bang Niang, Khao Lak — The beach and village north of Nang Thong, with Khao Lak's largest market.
- Nang Thong Beach, Khao Lak — The main beach at Khao Lak - a long grey-gold strand backed by casuarinas and the village behind.
- Police Boat 813 Tsunami Memorial, Khao Lak — A patrol boat carried two kilometres inland by the 2004 tsunami, left where it came to rest.
