2. Khlong Thap Liang

   • Khao Lak, Thailand
   • Sights › Nature reserve

   Guided hikes along the coast or inland can be arranged through many tour agencies in town, as can long-tail boat trips up the scenic Khlong Thap Liang estuary. The latter trip affords opportunities to view mangrove communities of crab-eating macaques.

   Between Khao Lak and Bang Sak is a network of sandy beach trails – some of which lead to deserted beaches – which are fun to explore on foot or by rented motorcycle. Most of the hotels in Khao Lek Town rent motorbikes for 250B per day.
