Khao Lak is a coastal area of Phangnga province on the Andaman coast of southern Thailand, where long beaches meet forested hills. Bang Niang, the neighbourhood where BED Khaolak Hostel stands, is a local stretch of the coast with markets and everyday shops close by, and the sea is a short distance away. The coast here has a relaxed pace, with small guesthouses, cafes and markets set back from the sand, so the area suits guests who want a quieter base for exploring the region.

The International Tsunami Museum is 500 m away and tells the story of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that struck this coast. Bang Niang Beach lies 1.1 km away, and Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park, 5.2 km away, covers forested hills and waterfalls. Phuket International Airport is 62.5 km away.

A good day could combine the national park's waterfalls with an afternoon at the beach. Boat trips to the Similan Islands, reached from Similan National Park 10.9 km away, depend on the season and the sea conditions, and the park closes during the rainy months. Tours can be arranged at the hostel, and a morning in the national park followed by an afternoon back on the coast is a simple way to spend a day.
