Police Boat 813 Tsunami Memorial Park

Highlight • Monument

In the center of Khao Lak is still a police boat that washed the wave more than a kilometer inland.

The tsunami museum itself is a garage with a few laminated pictures in memory of this terrible event.

For the memorial wall in the nearby fishing village of Nam Khem, relatives could design a tile for each victim, which was embedded in the wall.

Khao Lak–Lam Ru National Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Khao Lak Lam Ru National Park is located at the southern end of the Khao Lak holiday region and is divided by the main road running there.

The part of the sea is relatively manageable and actually consists only of a short nature trail, which ends right on Little Sandy Beach.

Ideal for a short hike and a subsequent swim in the sea.

The part inland is very large and has really beautiful and well signposted, challenging trails that can be explored on your own.

If you want to experience more, you can not avoid a local guide.

National Park Fee:
400 Bath per person (adults)

Ton Chong Fa Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The clay Chong Fa Waterfall in the middle of Khao Lak Lam Ru National Park is surrounded by lush rainforest. On the way up across the different levels you can observe rare species of birds and enjoy fragrant orchid flowers. Maybe you even get a tapir to face.

The entrance ticket, which you buy at the entrance to the national park, can be used several times within 72 hours. From the entrance you walk to the first cascade. Up to the first level of the waterfall, which is fed from the Bang Niang Canal, is the climb for every healthy man to create. Wear appropriate shoes, in some places the climbing path is quite steep. If you want to climb to the fifth level, you should bring a degree of fitness. The higher you climb, the more challenging the climb becomes.

November 11, 2023,🇹🇭Lam Ru National Park – Ton Chong Fah Waterfall Runde von บ้านบางเนียง

The Lam Ru National Park is very easy to hike from Khao Lak. Before the hike you should definitely visit the International Tsunami Museum. Suddenly you are at the place that was destroyed by the tsunami in 2004. The largest wave is said to have been over 10m high. This wave spread up to 3km inland. Impressive photos and video …

December 19, 2025,Khao Lak–Lam Ru Nationalpark – Ton Chong Fa Wasserfall

It was actually a lovely hike to Ton Chong Fah Waterfall – but on the way back, I absolutely had to make the detour to the waterfall by the playground 😂 – whoever called that little trickle a waterfall was either a comedian or at least had a great sense of humor.
