\nLong after the Indian Ocean Tsunami ebbed from Thailand, tourists and hoteliers alike are flowing back into its beaches.
\nDemand for hotels in Phang Nga, one of the worst-hit provinces by the 2004 tsunami, recorded a compounded annual growth rate of 16 percent from 2011 to 2015, according to a report by C9 Hotelworks.
\nThe hotel consultancy counted 962,020 tourist arrivals in the province last year. This figure is expected to cross the 1 million milestone by the end of 2016.
\nThe upswing in demand is especially manifest in the popular beach resort of Khao Lak, which has registered 104 registered accommodation units and 7,822 hotel keys.
\nA perennial favourite among \u201csnowbirds\u201d or foreigners from colder climes, Khao Lak seems to have shed its seasonal appeal. According to C9 Hotelworks, the destination curries favour in nearby markets like Australia, China, Japan, and Korea in the shoulder and low months from April to October.

\nIronically, German-speaking nations remain a dependable source of visitors to these parts.
\nAccording to Spiegel Online, the largest number of German tourists perished in Khao Lak in the wake of the tsunami.
\nKhao Lak is not all the same today. In the same report, Spiegel Online remarked that the tsunami has effectively swept away its brand as a \u201cbackpacker\u2019s paradise.\u201d
\nC9 Hotelworks expects a wave of high-profile, large-scale resort openings in Khao Lak over the next few years. Avani and Holiday Inn are set to make a big splash in Bangsak and Nang Thong areas in 2018 and 2016, respectively.
