It's not only coral reef, it was bottom of an ocean so it's everything that had calcium- and silica-based skeletal structure, including plankton and mollusks. All limestone and chalk is made of fossils, just not in intact state.

Do you know how the expat scene is up there? I'm guessing a bit smaller and more laid back.

This is stunning. Though I live in the Northeast, I don’t like the cold, but images like this remind of me how beautiful winter can be. Thanks for sharing.

This is how I felt as well.
I just came back recently, and I have been to a couple of places in South East Asia (Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore) but out of all of them I felt Thailand had the kindest people. Not to say that the other countries did not have kind people, but the consistency was there in Thailand.
So would definitely go again.

Khao Lak is awesome, and a short drive to Khao Sok which is STUNNING, the lake at the dam is a sight to behold. Source: I live in Phuket and love travelling north

I think not exactly? But I'm not sure. This website explains it pretty well imo: https://www.paddleasia.com/karst-topography.htm
I'm not a geologist or anything but summarizing some of the info, Coral Polyps deposited the lime that turned into limestone ~100 million years ago. Halfway down that page is a photo of how the bottoms are more narrow than the tops on some formations as the sea levels went down and carved them out

Wait so if those are from a coral reef… that’s a fossil?!

How was Khao Lak? I'm in Phuket now but have thought of moving up there for the surf and relative less touristy-ness.
