Must-visit places in Prachuap Khiri Khan

Wat Khao Chong Krajok

Built on the top of a hill, it is the first thing you will see when you arrive in Prachuap. The building itself is not very impressive but the view over the city and the two bays is just amazing. The other attraction of this mountain are the monkeys living there.

Khao Sam Roi Yod National Park

เขาสามร้อยยอด

My opinion :

Located at the edge of the sea with numerous caves including the very photogenic Phraya Nakhon Cave with its little royal pavilion lighted by a ray of sun comming from the opening at the top. The park is about sixty kilometers from Hua Hin and Prachuap Khiri Khan, thirty from Pranburi and a dozen kilometers from Kuiburi. There are a few accommodation options in the park.

Phraya Nakhon Cave

It is the highlight of any visit to the Sam Roi Yod National Park. This beautiful cave hosts a small Royal Pavilion which is often illuminated by a ray of light coming from the opening at the top of the cave. A relaxing and very photogenic place which is also the emblem of the province.

Ao Noi

in the North, the beach is less pleasant but if you continue on the road you will come to a beach with fishing boats and on the right a little path in the mountain that takes you to a charming temple in a cave.

Walking Street

My opinion :

This pop-up night market that is only held a few days per week on a portion of Prachuap Khiri Khan city's seaside road is pleasant and the perfect place to experience Thai street food in all its diversity.

Kuiburi national park

อุทยานแห่งชาติกุยบุรี

My opinion :

This thai national park, which is home to many animal species in lush nature with a few waterfalls, is the place where you are most likely to see wild elephants in Thailand ! There are more than 300 elephants in the park and tours offered by the park rangers give you a good chance of seing them.

Other nice places to visit in Prachuap Khiri Khan

Ao Manao

starstarstarstarstar this bay located within a military base has the nicest beach in the area. Particularly quiet week, it comes alive on weekends and holidays when many Thais come to enjoy the sea.

Khao Lom Muak mountain

starstarstarstar This hill offers an incredible viewpoint on the surroundings and especially the 3 small islands and the bay of Prachuap Khiri Khan. But climbing up there is quite hard and only allowed during long holiday weekends in Thailand. The rest of the year, you still can go see the langur monkeys that are almost always there.

Khao Daeng Viewpoint

starstarstarstar This is the most famous viewpoint in Khao Sam Roi Yod Park and certainly offers a superb 360 ° view of the surroundings which is appreciated at sunrises and sunsets.

Pa La-U Waterfall

starstarstarstar This waterfall about sixty kilometers from Hua Hin is located in Kaeng Krachan National Park. It is a pleasant area of nature but not the most photogenic waterfall in Thailand.

Khao Ta Mong Lai Forest Park

starstarstar mountainous park on the seafront at the end of Ao Noi beach. There is a pleasant trek along the coast.

Wat Ao Noi

starstarstar If this is the whole Ao Noï bay area that I recommend you to visit, do not miss Wat Ao Noi's small wooden carved hall, located just alittle before the beach and the stairs leading to cave with the 2 reclining Buddha images.

Khan Kra Dai Cave

starstarstar The place is actually home to two caves. The most famous one is accessed by a path of steps in the mountains alongside the sea. It houses two reclining Buddha images. It's the whole bike ride to come here with the nearby Wat Ao Noi, the beach and even the fishing port that is really nice.

Sai Cave

starstarstar This little-visited cave in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park has superb stalactites that form like a waterfall. The path to get to it, if it is not very long, is arduous.
