Khao Lak/Lam Ru

National Park
( 0 7642 0243; www.dnp.go.th ; adult/child 200/100B; 8am-4.30pm) The area immediately south of
Hat Khao Lak has been incorporated into the vast 125-sq-km Khao Lak/Lam Ru National Park ,
a collage of sea cliffs, 1000m-high hills, beaches, estuaries, forested valleys and man-
groves. Wildlife includes hornbills, drongos, tapirs, gibbons, monkeys and Asiatic black
bears.
The visitors centre, just off Hwy 4 between the Km 56 and Km 57 markers, has a very
nice open-air restaurant on a shady slope overlooking the sea. From the restaurant you can
take a fairly easy 3km round-trip nature trail that heads along the cape and ends at often-
deserted Hat Lek beach.
