Its location is on the southwest coast of Thailand, about 90 kilometers from Phuket island or an hour drive from Phuket International Airport.
The province has been well-known nationawide as well as worldwide since December 2004 because the tidal wave tsunami hit directly at this part of the country.
After that, our location has been visited regularly and the Andaman coast community was granted a lot of supports both from inside and outside the kingdom.
