Khao Lak sits on the Andaman coast of Phang Nga province, a stretch of sand backed by jungle-covered hills. The hostel is in the Nang Thong Beach area, and the beach is 660 m from the hostel. The area has a relaxed feel, with guesthouses, dive operators and simple restaurants, and it draws people who want a quiet base by the sea rather than a busy town, with the sand and the hills close at hand.

Within a short drive you can reach Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park, 2.3 km away, where forest trails climb into the hills. The Tsunami Museum, 2.7 km away, documents the 2004 tsunami that struck this coast, and Ton Chong Fa Waterfall, a five-tier cascade in the hills, is also nearby. Sunset Beach is close as well, as is the Bang Niang Market.

Phuket International Airport is 59.4 km away, and Krabi International Airport is 100.5 km away, and both are reached by road. Boat trips to the Similan Islands leave from the coast, but they depend on sea conditions and the season. A good day can start with the national park trails, continue with a visit to the Tsunami Museum and end with a swim at the beach nearby.
