Ban Krut Travel Guide: Located about 80 km south of Prachuap Khiri Khan, Ban Krut is a popular tourist destination for Thai tourists arriving by coach. This tranquil oasis, with its long beach, mountains, and the gold-covered Wat Tang Sai temple featuring a huge, radiant Buddha statue, transforms completely on weekends and Thai holidays, when accommodation prices increase by 20-30%. The beach is ideal for enjoying the sunset on the horizon. Aside from the waterfront promenade and Wat Tang Sai with its Pra Mahatat Jede Pukde Prakad pagoda and the large Pra Phut Takitti Sirichai Buddha, don't expect any spectacular sights during the week, but it's a good place to stay. Between the beach and the road leading to the temple mountain behind the Ruen Talay Resort, there's a small harbor on a river. Rent a scooter or bicycle and explore the area – you'll discover many secluded stretches of beach. For stays of several days, the room rate is often negotiable. When you arrive in the city, the right side by the harbor is quieter and home to the most luxurious resorts. On the left, you'll find most of the mid-range resorts (expect to pay at least 500 THB on weekdays, usually 700 THB for comfortable bungalows, and 800 to 1000 THB on weekends and Thai holidays). Besides visiting the temple, it's worth making a trip to the market next to the train station in the morning to stock up on provisions for your onward journey.
