TBang La On[edit]
Bang La On is the most tourist-oriented of the three main Khao Lak towns.
Stretching from km795 to km797, Bang La On is mistakenly called Khao Lak by most visitors. It has many shops, bars, restaurants and banks. Any given group of store fronts seems to consist of a souvenir shop, a tailor shop, a dive shop, a massage parlor, an eyewear shop, and a restaurant. Strolling along the short main town centre in the evening can be quite pleasant as there are sidewalks.
If you are travelling by bus and tell the conductor you are going to “Khao Lak”, Bang La On is where you will be let off the bus, near the Nang Thong Supermarket. This may be far from your intended destination, so try to be more specific if you are not staying near there.
Just south of the supermarket, Nang Thong Road leads to the town’s beach, Nang Thong.
Webcam: Just north of the Nang Thong Supermarket are the offices of Khao Lak Land Discovery, a local tour organiser. This webcam is mounted on the roof of their building. It shows you a segment of Rt 4, roughly in the centre of Bang La On. Camera's angle of view is to the southeast. [1]
