The first stop is served by buses going from Bangkok and back and is north of Bang Niang behind the buildings on Khao Wang Rd. From there you can go to Morchit station in Bangkok and from Bangkok to Khao Lak, where the options available to passengers are many. There is an option to travel in the second class that departs twice a day, where the travel time is approximately 15 hours and there is another option that is shorter by two hours. There are also VIP buses that leave in the afternoon and the duration of their journey is approximately 12 hours. The second bus station in Khao Lak is south of Khao Lak Beach. Buses to Phuket stop at this station and pick up passengers every hour in both directions. Those who are not interested in this route, can also choose to travel by mini bus, which is faster and more comfortable. You can purchase a ticket for these buses, which also include a ferry ride to Kofipi and Kosmoi. 

Getting around in Khao Lek itself can also be done in several ways. For example, motorcycles, which are considered very popular. You can rent them for one day only or for three days and even more. There are quite a few motorcycle rental companies around and the price range is wide. The same is true for renting a car, which is an equally convenient and efficient solution. And for those who don't want to drive, taxis are offered. Those who want can make do with bicycles and take a leisurely stroll along the strip. Either way, the possibility of renting a motorcycle or a car is a realistic solution for those who plan to be on the move and not necessarily spend their time on the beach strip on their stomachs only. At the same time, this is not mandatory since overall it is not such a large area and the distances between one point and another are not huge.
