Historical and Cultural Background

Khao Lak is a region in Phang Nga Province, famous for its unspoiled beaches, clear waters, and lush tropical landscapes. While the area was deeply impacted by the 2004 tsunami, Khao Lak has since rebuilt and flourished as a popular tourist destination. The region is now known for its focus on sustainable tourism, offering a peaceful alternative to the more commercialized resorts of Phuket.

Similan Hotel’s strategic location in Khao Lak makes it a perfect starting point for visitors exploring the natural wonders of the area, especially the nearby Similan Islands, which are part of the national marine park and one of the top dive sites in the world.
