Kantary Beach Hotel Khao Lak: a resort on the Andaman shores

The Kantary Beach Hotel Khao Lak is a beachfront complex located at Cape Pakarang, in Phang Nga province, north of Phuket. Positioned directly on the beach overlooking the Andaman Sea, it combines independent villas, suites with kitchenettes and varied dining options, all set within a tropical setting bordering Khao Lak National Park.
