Prachuap Khiri Khan can be described as an unspoiled sleepy beach town. Unlike the hot tourist parts of
Thailand, the beaches of Prachuap Khiri Khan are not yet fully discovered by many tourists. In the past, the city used to be a favorite holiday destination of the Royal family.
The beaches of this town are calm and tranquil, perfect for swimming, snorkeling or sunbathing, away from the choking crowd of
Pattaya. Below are some attractions you can discover in 2 days.
Visit Ao Manao
With its attractive beach lined with cool, shady trees and 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, it is no doubt because it is located on an airforce base, the 53rd Air Division, just to the south of town. There are plenty of food stalls and even a food court on the beach road, but few other services or tourist-oriented businesses.
Take a trip to the Wat Thammikaram or Monkey temple
The Wat Thammikaram or Monkey temple gives you an awesome taste of an adventurous trip through a hill full of monkeys. The temple is located at the top of Khao Chong Krajok hill, which gives a 360-degree view of the whole town from the top.
The mouth of the staircase which leads to this temple is located at the Sao Noi Road, there are a total of 418 steps which lead to the top of the hill, into the temple. The troop of monkeys live on the way, but enjoy their sight and presence from afar, do not try to disturb them or to feed them to avoid any unseen attack.
Take a visit to King Mongkut Memorial Park of Science and Technology Waghor
King Mongkut Rama IV established this science museum in the year 1989 to showcase his father’s study in the scientific field. One of the main attractions of this science museum is Waghor Aquarium. The other attraction of this place is the butterfly garden.
Enjoy local food at Rim Taley Market
The Oceanside Market is not very large, but it makes an ideal dinner destination because you can eat your food on the promenade or pier. On Friday and Saturday the few dozen regular vendors are joined by about 200 more as the market morphs into Walking Street, though there is little in the way of artistic or handmade goods on sale.

This intsy wintsy national park roughly midway between Prachuap Khiri Khan and Namtok Huay Yang National Park offers deserted beach scenes and plentiful bird spotting. Gazetted in 1995, Haad Wanakorn National Marine Park is
Thailand’s smallest park at just 38 square kilometres, of which 23 is coastal scrub and woodland and 15 is marine, including the two small islands of Ko Chai and Ko Thaisi.
