Hello,

we want to go by car from Bangkok to Khao Lak. The tour will bring us over Ranong. We want to see some nice Places and Islands on the west coast. If somebody have some tipps for us, which island, resort or whatelse, please contact me. Thank you.

Best Regards

Check out Koh Phayam or Koh Chang just off Ranong city. Also Laem Son national park close to Kaper south of Ranong. The Surin islands can be visited from Kuraburi or Khao Lak, and from Khao Lak you can also go to the Similan islands.You could also check out Sri Phangnga national park in between Kuraburi and Takua Pa - no accomodation possibilities apart from a campsite, bur great hiking trails.

Summed up perfectly

There are a bunch of parks around Ranong up by the Myanmar border. Little known marine parks - dnp.go.th

Since you have a car you might try these. The places mentioned prior, while arguably the best islands Thailand still has to offer can be reached by bus.

CAMPING CAMPING CAMPING !!!
