Shopping
ที่อยู่: Khao Lak Center .Thailand is the Promised land for shopaholics! Everything between heaven and earth is for sale – the range is enormous and the prices are low. The department stores have always displayed fixed prices, a custom which is becoming the norm. However, at markets and in smaller shops, you may have to negotiate a price that both parties are happy with.

Fresh Market (talat sot)
ที่อยู่: Khao Lak-Bang Niang Fresh Market, Petchkasem Road, Khuekkhak, Takua Pa District, Phang-nga, Thailand .Central Khuk Khak (find the 7-11 in central Khuk Khak, turn at the road adjacent to it, and proceed 2 blocks).

Police Boat 813
ที่อยู่: Police Boat T813 Tsunami Memorial, Khuekkhak, Takua Pa District, Phang-nga, Thailand .Police Boat 813, (central Bang Niang, and inland side). Was one of two police boats guarding Khun Phum Jensen, son of former royal Princess Ubol Ratana (his father was an American, hence the last name) at the time of the 2004 tsunami. Khun Phum was jet-skiing when the wave struck, and he and the entire crew of one of the police boats (which was sunk) died. This is the other boat, which was swept approximately 2 km inland and has been left where the tsunami deposited it as a memorial and historical landmark. Extensive works during low season 2012 developed the site into a park with museum. Free.
Takuapa & Old Town
ที่อยู่: Meeting Point Takuapa Old Town, Thanon Sri Takuapa, Tambon Takuapa, Takua Pa District, Phang-nga, Thailand .Takuapa & Old Town, (north on Rt 4).Takuain Thai means lead, the metal. Which is odd, because the town was a centre for tin, and not lead mining in the 1920s and 1930s. Little remains of that era except for some old photos in the Takua Pa Library. In the old quarter of Takuapa you will find Sino-Portuguese architecture and have the chance to wander around the quaint shops (best in the early morning). About 30 minutes drive north of Khao Lak. Takuapa market and River Plaza are in the new town, near the bus station. There is a typical local market. The plaza has some good shops and a few riverside restaurants. On a macabre note, Takuapa was the centre for relief efforts following the tsunami. The collection/identification point for recovered bodies was located here, and there is reputed to be a cemetery holding the remains of unidentified foreign victims of the disaster. A great, alternative way to get to Takuapa is to turn right at km784 following the signs to the Sai Rung waterfall. The next 17 km will take you on one of Thailand's most lovely roads - no traffic, perfect tarmac, and no hills to speak of (perfect for bicycling). You will come to a tee-junction. Turn left to old town Takuapa, 1 km.
Saori Foundation Center
ที่อยู่: ศูนย์สินค้า กลุ่มทอผ้าซาโอริ Takua Pa District, Phang-nga, Thailand .Saori Foundation Centre, Bang Muang (drive north from Khao Lak and Bang Niang to Ban Muang; go through the built up area and a few hundred meters further on you will see on the left an official-looking entrance. Turn left into it and find the Saori workshop on the left). The women's workshop develops its own textile designs after a Japanese monk showed tsunami survivors how to weave and earn a living. Visitors are welcome Mon to Sat.
