The 10 Best Beaches in Khao Lak, Ranked
This is mostly long, palm-backed mainland sand strung along the Khao Lak coast, quiet stretches like Bang Sak, Khuk Khak and Pak Weep doing the heavy lifting, with resort-heavy Bang Niang and Nang Thong at the busier end. The odd one out is Donald Duck Bay on Koh Similan, granite boulders and a boat trip away, and worth the effort. Ranked on Google ratings, with review volume breaking ties.
