Prachuap Khiri Khan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Pran Buri, Prachuap Khiri Khan - Thailand: A nice ling beach that is about half an hours away from Huahin. The beach here is more peaceful, less crowded and more windy compared to Huahin. This place is susitble for 2-3 days vacation for relaxing and breath taking.

Reclining Buddha Cave

#thailandtrip Wat Ao Noi, Tham Phra Non, is a very beautiful temple, one temple in Kuiburi District, Prachuap Khiri Khan, next to the sea, the temple is a whole wood, very beautiful, there is a sacred temple. Stay before going up to pay homage to the hill inside the cave. The very big one has 2 large sleeping Buddhas, golden, inside the cave is very large, very cold, not hot.

Reclining Buddha Cave

#songkran2024 It is a must visit when you are in Ao Noi area. The walk up to the cave was not strenuous but required a bit of strength, certainly not for elderlies. The ascent was all worthwhile to see the two reclining Buddhas, the 28 Buddha images and walking further to see other natural limestone formations and Buddha statues. Anyway, I might have missed out something mentioned by others. Then, came the descent, forgetting not a few shots at the pit stops. After that, I paid a visit at Wat Ao Noi! The structure was magnificent. I loved the background of a mountain with a forefront wooden temple, such a stunning contrast. I will come back one day and stay in one of the homestays here.

Waghor Aquarium

#passionpassport 50 baht admission to enter this aquarium is surely worthy. There is a big tank and tunnel to enjoy the aquarium atmosphere. Please support such good place. Small aquarium. Not so fancy. Quite run-down. However... a big HOWEVER... the fish and sea creatures they look super healthy and all are in big size. How big? Puffer fish same size of a coconut fruit (biggest ever I have seen.) And starfish around a foot wide! They all seem to be happy living there. Plus every 14:00 o'clock there willbe feeding show in the big fish tank. All the fish there are very clever cute... They seem to know when is the feeding time very well. Very cheap but i could say it is still remote area but fortunately we have this trip for free☺️☺️☺️🦾 #passionpassport #urbanexplorer

Waghor Aquarium

#thailandtrip The ticket is 50 per person which is value for money. Fish are not too crowded, shark is still small. It seems this would be a good camp site / educational for school children. The beach next to the building is very clean. But they really had a brilliant idea on the plastic bag at the souvenir shop. Recommend this place. So check it out..............

Khao Ta Mong Lai Forest Park

#songkran2024 There's not much to this place, but it's still a little gem. Entry is free. Near the parking area, there are houses for rent, along with a drink seller. Just inside the entry are a restaurant and very clean bathrooms, with flush toilets and showers. Bring your own soap and TP. A bit farther inside are tent sites. It looked to me like you can rent a tent site with their tent, or you can bring your own tent. There are lights strung along the way, leading from the entry to the tents. The nature trail is only 300 meters long, so walk slowly or have a seat and just enjoy the view. This area is not suitable for swimming. Trail leading up the mountain is blocked off. Overall, a very peaceful place.

Ao Manao

#songkran2024 During my two-week stay in Prachuap Khiri Khan, I made a daily visit to Ao Manao starting from around 9 am on the second day until just two days before my departure. Despite encountering rough seas and rising tides during the initial days, the area was quite pleasant overall. However, it's worth noting that in the days leading up to my departure, there was a noticeable increase in jellyfish presence, so caution was necessary. The rental fee for a deck chair was 20 Baht per person. Typically, they set up two tables with six deck chairs each. As a solo visitor or with a companion, the arrangement might not always be appreciated by the beach attendants. It's advisable to consider ordering food and drinks from them as they primarily rely on this revenue, offering a 10% discount to encourage purchases. Otherwise, they might not be too pleased with patrons occupying the chairs without contributing to their business. Instead of dining at the beach, I opted to eat at the nearby hawker center across the street every day. Some of the vendors served exceptionally tasty dishes at reasonable prices, often cheaper than those available at the beachfront eateries. On a tip from a local, I discovered that sitting at the deck chairs near the Dolphin Statue resulted in fewer complaints from the attendants. Additionally, many foreigners frequented that area, creating a more comfortable atmosphere for visitors.
