Things to see and do

  • Khao Chong Krachok
    3.5 stars

    Situated on a hill at the northern end of town, this wat offers great views of the coastline to the north and south. At the top of the 395 steps is Wat Thamikaran, a revered monastery housing a Buddha footprint. The monastery forms part of the Wat Thamikaran, sometimes known as Wat Khao Chong ... read more

  • Ao Manao
    4 stars

    Description: With its gorgeous beach, lined with cool, shady trees and beach umbrellas, Ao Manao embodies what the resort beaches to the north would like to be when they grow up. At the same time it has more of the feeling of a National Park than a beach resort, no doubt because it's located on a ... read more

  • Nam Tok Huay Yang National Park
    3 stars

    Again to the west of highway 4, 29km from Prachuap Khiri Khan is the signposted turn off for this national park. The park entrance is 7km away and again if you have no transport a motorbike taxi should cost no more than 20B from the highway. Huay Yang waterfall, the park's obvious attraction is a ... read more
