This beautiful sandy beach extends for about 700 metres, and is bordered by a small river to the right and a barrier of rocks to the left, where Poseidon Beach then continues. The wood covered headland to the north protects this beach from the heavy waves during the monsoon so that swimming is often possible with a little caution.

The large Merlin Resort , a 4-star resort, is beautifully integrated into the tree covered landscape.

New are the Emerald Beach Resort with over 300 rooms, the Briza Resort with 181 rooms, and the lovely Diamond Beach Resort with 86 very spacious rooms. The Diamond Beach Resort is managed in a very friendly family-style. We are delighted that we can now book the beachfront bungalow rooms for an extremely low price -- the best value for money in any resort of Khao Lak during Christmas.
The less posh Poseidon is situated at a picturesque river mouth 1 km further south. It is run by the Swede Olof who offers snorkeling trips to the Similan Islands.

From Khaolak Beach (South) it takes about 10 minutes by car to Khao Lak Town, 5 km to the north beyond Khao Lak-Lamru National Park.

Richard Doring Informs: Baan Sunetra is a small but attractive resort with an excellent Restaurant and lovely Pool by the beach. The complex was completely destroyed during the Tzunami and rebuilt to a high standard.

Please note: The owner is a dog lover and keeps around 45 dogs there. Saying that, the rooms and surroundings are clean, and the dogs mostly stay in the private area of the resort, where they are not disturbing
