Khao Lak only 2 hours North of Phuket, and about 3 hrs South of Ranong. This is a new resort which offers lovely beaches located on the Andaman, West coast of Thailand,  Khao Lak is basically a 10 km stretch of white sandy bay divided into a "back packers" end ( North end) with cheap bungalow accommodation, and the more upmarket Southern end of the bay,  with quality beach bungalow, and hotel accommodation.  Still really under construction Khao Lak is proving to be a popular destination for stop over's from Phuket and/or Khao Sok Nation Park.  Expect to pay anything  from B 500 for a basic bungalow ( maybe not beach located or seaview!   and up to B 4000 per night for a 4 star style room with good views.
