Khao Lak is a coastal town on the Andaman side of Phangnga province, and Khaolak Wandee Hostel sits in the Nang Tong Beach area, close to the sand. The coast was badly hit by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and memorials and a museum now recall that day. Along the roads nearby there are small shops, tailors and food stalls, and the mood is relaxed, shaped by the sea and by the forested hills behind the coast.

Khao Lak View Point is 450 m from the hostel, while Sunset Beach and Bang Niang Beach are both sandy stretches along the coast, and the Hat Bang Niang Viewpoint is on the same shore. Ton Chong Fa Waterfall is in the hills inland. The nearest airport is Phuket International Airport, 59.3 km away, and the Khao Lak Bus Station is 5.3 km away.

For a day out, Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park, 2 km away, offers forest trails and waterfalls, while the Similan National Park, 7.7 km away, covers offshore islands that are reached by boat. The Tsunami Museum and the Police Boat 813 Tsunami Memorial make a sober stop for anyone interested in the history of this coast. Back in Khao Lak, the evening is spent at the beach or in the small restaurants along the roads.
