Khao Lak is a coastal area on Thailand's Andaman side, in Phangnga province, where beach guesthouses and resorts sit between the sea and a backdrop of forested hills. Riverside Guesthouse is in the Bang Niang area, a village district behind the beach, so the surroundings are village streets rather than the centre of a town. Life here centres on the village, the market and the beach.

Within a short distance you find the International Tsunami Museum, 150 m away, which documents the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that struck this coast, and the Bangnieng Afternoon Market, a local market in the village. Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park, 4.6 km away, has forest trails and waterfalls, and Similan National Park, 10.4 km away, is a group of islands reached by boat from the mainland. Khao Lak has no airport of its own, so the nearest is Phuket International Airport, 62 km away, reached by road.

A day could start on Bang Niang Beach, 950 m away, then move on to the International Tsunami Museum and the forest trails of Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park. For a longer trip, tours can be arranged, and the afternoon market gives a glimpse of village life in the area.
