7Eleven Bang Niang (เซเว่น อิเลเว่น) (BangNiang)  Dieser 7eleven an der Abzweigung zum Bang Niang Beach ist DAS Landmark von Bang Niang. Es gibt gewiss niemanden, der in diesem 7eleven noch nicht eingekauft hat. Er ist immer belebt, auch mitten in der Nacht. Die Preise sind sehr angemessen wie in ganz Thailand, und immer gibt es Sonderangebote, denen man nur schwer widerstehen kann. Die Auswahl an Säften und Milchprodukten ist ungewöhnlich gross. Fertiggerichte kann man sich jederzeit in der Mikro oder im Grillofen heiss machen lassen. Das Personal ist zumeist freundlich und zu einem Spass aufgelegt.

Police Boat 813 (เรือตรวจการณ์ 813) (KhaoLak)  The Police Patrol Boat 813 was washed 1.3 km inland by the Tsunami of December 26, 2004. Eyewitnesses saw the boat under full power navigating against the huge wave, but nevertheless riding backwards across Bang Niang River and being stranded 200 meters from Phetkasem Highway. As it is impossible to move the big boat from there to the sea, it is left there as the most remarkable Tsunami Memorial. In 2012 a new road was built to the boat passing the Tsunami Memorial Sculpture "Stabile". On December 26, 2004, the police boat 813 was safeguarding the daughter of the King of Thailand and her son, who as guests of the La Flora Resort were enjoying Bang Niang Beach. On various videos the boat is seen in calm waters, then being abruptly lifted up by the approaching wave. Still at that moment nobody could expect the extreme speed and power of the wave. Most probably the water was so full of air that the propellers of the boat could not exercise their full thrust. Museum >>
Tsunami Museum Khao Lak (KhaoLak)  The "Khao Lak Museum" was created by the long time residents Franky Gun and Richard Doring, commemorating Khao Lak's 25th birthday. In July 2015 it was renamed to "Tsunami Museum Khao Lak" and moved to the road leading to the Police Boat 813, where many more visitors are aware of its existence. The museum shows the history of tourism in the Khao Lak region. Many hotels, restaurants, tour agencies, dive centers and other businesses of Khao Lak display their history since the year 1987, when the first tourist business, the Khao Lak Bungalows, was opened in Khao Lak. Other historical artifacts, maps, pictures and documents are also presented in the 40 square meter exhibition room. The "Tsunami Exhibition" honors the efforts of the Khao Lak people and their friends to reconstruct Khao Lak in the year following the disastrous Tsunami of December 2004. Original documents show the help of the true friends of Khao Lak, help by means of donations for specific Tsunami victims and by goods that alleviated the severe pain of effected Khao Lak residents. Videos about the Tsunami in Khao Lak are displayed. Entrance is free, a donation can be given at the discretion of visitors. The museum guide, Khun Id, can give explanations in Thai and English. A glass of water is offered free of charge. At a counter in front of the museum competent staff from T-Tour gives information about the attractions in the Khao Lak area. They can also arrange a taxi for visiting Tsunami related memorials. 68/5, Soi Rua 813, Bang Niang, Khao Lak, Phang Nga 82190 Market >>
Bang Niang Market (ตลาดบางเนียง) (KhaoLak)  The afternoon market of Bang Niang takes place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday from 14.00 hours until nightfall around 18.30 hours. On Saturday hundreds of customers flock to the market creating quite a traffic jam on the access roads. Villagers, business people from near and afar, and quite a few tourists come to buy all sorts of provisions, mainly vegetables, fruits, seafood, housewares, and clothes. Several stalls sell food like Khanom Chin, grilled Chicken pieces with Kao Niau, grilled fish of various types, packed salad ready to eat, Thai sweets, among them my favourites Mango with Sticky Rice and Pumpkin filled with Pudding. Also some souvenir shops have joined the crowd and sell their products at fair prices. The market is located behind the landmark 7eleven in the center of Ban Bang Niang right behind the taxi stand. It is made up of makeshift roofs of palm leaves and some plastic foil. When it is raining the market literally drowns in the waters running everywhere.
