Diving
Khao Lak is the gateway to some
of the top diving areas that southern Thailand
has to offer. It has the advantage of being in closer proximity
than neighbouring Phuket
and Krabi for day trips
to locations such as the Similan and Surin Islands and can therefore
offer a cost and time effective alternative for those seeking
to explore the underwater world. |
