Diving

Khaolak 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.
