Khao Lak is a resort town on Thailand's Andaman coast in Phang Nga province, where a line of beaches runs in front of forested hills. The resort stands in the Pakarang area, with Khuk Khak Beach and Laem Pakarang Beach close by and the hills of the national park rising inland. The resort's own grounds include a garden, a terrace and a solarium, so guests can spend time outdoors without leaving the property.

The Tsunami Museum, 5.4 km away, tells the story of the 2004 tsunami that struck this coast, and the Khao Lak Elephant Home, 2.2 km away, is an elephant care centre. Khuk Khak Beach and Laem Pakarang Beach are the closest beaches, while Pak Weep Beach and Bang Niang Beach lie further along the same coast. Ton Chong Fa Waterfall is also in the hills nearby. For getting around, Phuket International Airport, 67.5 km away, is the nearest airport, and the area is reached by road from there.

A day could combine a trip into Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park, 10.1 km away, with its forest and waterfalls, and a boat trip to Similan National Park, 15.9 km away, which is reached by boat from the coast. Boat trips depend on sea conditions, and in the rainy season they are often suspended, so the national park and the coast make a good mix for a full day out.
