Khao Lak Khao Lak: Khao Lak, 32 kilometres from Takua Pa, is an interesting destination for travelers. Besides beautiful beaches it has a magnificent natural jungle which rises to high hills, cut by streams and cascading waterfalls such as Saeng Thong, Lam Roo and Chong Fa. Here you can try jungle trekking, rafting, jeep safaris and elephant trekking or simply cool off in the waterfalls' plunge pools.

Khao Lak is the ideal Thailand tourist destination for couples, nature lovers, divers and families alike offering hotel accommodation of all kinds.
Similan Island Similan Island: The Similan Islands in the heart of the Andaman Sea consist of 9 islands and are unparelled in their exotic beauty and are rated as one of the top ten dive sites in the world. Snorkelling and dive spots are scattered around these nine islands with untouched coral reefs, rock formations and various fish including whale sharks.

If you stay at hotels or resorts in Khao Lak or Phuket you can book daytrips to the islands but it is also possible to stay at one of the basic accommodations at the parks headquarter if you want to spend more time there.
Mu Ko Surin National Park Mu Ko Surin National Park: This group of five islands has been little visited because of its distance from the coast and the absence of any commercial activity or permanent population other than Scuba gear is by no means necessary to get a good look at the reefs, a mere snorkel and mask is sufficient, making this a perfect destination for those who would like to have the experience of diving but have no time for a scuba course. Accommodation at the National Park are Spartan, but the modest inconvenience of roughing it will be amply rewarded by the experience supplied.

Of these islands, the two most important ones are Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai. Koh Yao has many tourist attractions that still maintain their natural beauty along with many beautiful beaches. Not far from the coast of Koh Yao are many exotic islands, which increase the beauty of Koh Yao. There are a few bungalow operations providing basic but very charming accommodations. Traveling to Koh Yao Yai is like traveling back in time

There are some resorts situated in scenic surroundings offering first class facilities and inviting for relaxed holidays.
