At least, it is not so difficult. Most of foreign travellers prefer to
drop at Phuket and taking a private transfer to Khao Lak. This
tranquil beach nestled on the beautiful waters of the Andaman can be
reached by air, by bus, by car or by train. A flight to Phuket
Airport, followed by a road trip of a further 80 kms to Takuapa town and
within an hour you will be in Khao Lak. Most of resorts have
arrange those private transfer for you. In case you don't have:
Island Tour Co., Ltd at Phuket:
http://www.tour-phuket.com is the one I recommend.
By Air:
Many airlines now fly directly to Phuket from several countries, a
stopover a day in Bangkok is unnecessary. However, in case of
departure from Bangkok, you may catch a domestic flight by Thai Airways
which fly daily to Phuket.

From Bangkok to Chumporn along Highway No 41 about 500 kms, turn right
on Highway 401, passing Phanom-Suratthani and to Takuapa - Phang-nga on
Highway No 4 to Khao Lak.

You may start from Hualumphong Train Station in Bangkok to Suratthani
Province for 12 hours, then catch a bus to Khao Lak. Personally,
we don't recommend you to choose this mode of travel
