Khao Lak has an ideal tropical climate throughout the year, characterised by two seasons, hot and rainy. The best time to visit is from November to April. December and January are the peak tourist months and are best avoided.
Khao Lak was initially a calm and sleepy village until the 1990s, when a few dive operators started offering diving trips to the Similan Islands.
The inhabitants of Khoa Lak are mainly Thai and Chinese. Farming and fishing are the two most important sources of economy. Tourism is a rapidly developing industry.
