Khao Lak and the greater Phang Nga region have long relied on fishing and plantation agriculture; coastal communities rebuilt after the 2004 tsunami and now balance tourism with traditional livelihoods.
Conservation
Operators often limit ATV group size and stick to established tracks to minimize soil erosion; respect local signs and avoid off-route riding to protect regrowing vegetation.
