Sights in Prachuap: Khiri Khan Wat Khao Chong Krajok (วัดเขาช่องกระจก) My rating: 5/5 stars. The temple, built on a hill, is the first thing you see upon arrival in Prachuap. The building itself isn't particularly impressive, but the view over the city and the two bays is simply breathtaking. Another attraction of this mountain is the monkeys that live there. Khao Sam Roi Yod National Park (เขาสามร้อยยอด) My rating: 5/5 stars. Located right by the sea, the park is home to numerous caves, including the photogenic Phraya Nakhon Cave with its small royal pavilion, illuminated by a ray of sunlight filtering through the opening at the top. The park is about 60 kilometers from Hua Hin and Prachuap Khiri Khan, 30 kilometers from Pranburi, and 12 kilometers from Kuiburi. There are several accommodation options within the park. Phraya Nakhon Cave (My rating: 5/5): This is the highlight of any visit to Sam Roi Yod National Park. Inside this beautiful cave is a small royal pavilion, often lit by a ray of light filtering through the opening in the cave ceiling. A relaxing and very photogenic spot, it's also the province's landmark. Ao Noi (My rating: 4/5): The beach to the north is less appealing, but if you continue along the road, you'll reach a beach dotted with fishing boats. To the right, a small path leads into the mountains to a charming temple inside a cave. Walking Street (ถนนคนเดิน) My rating: 3/5 stars. This pop-up night market, which only takes place a few days a week along a section of Prachuap Khiri Khan's coastal road, is pleasant and the perfect place to experience the diversity of Thai street food. Kuiburi National Park (อุทยานแห่งชาติกุยบุรี) My rating: 4/5 stars. Home to many animal species amidst lush nature and several waterfalls, this Thai national park is the place where you are most likely to see wild elephants in Thailand! The park is home to over 300 elephants, and the tours offered by the park rangers provide a good chance of seeing them.

Other places worth seeing in Prachuap Khiri Khan: Ao Manao (★★★★) This bay, located within a military base, boasts the most beautiful beach in the area. It's particularly quiet during the week, but bustling on weekends and holidays when many Thais enjoy the sea. Khao Lom Muak (★★★) This hill offers incredible views of the surrounding area, especially the three small islands and Prachuap Khiri Khan Bay. However, the climb is quite strenuous and, in Thailand, is only permitted on long weekends. During the rest of the year, langurs can almost always be observed there. Khao Daeng Viewpoint (★★★) This is the most famous viewpoint in Khao Sam Roi Yod Park and offers a breathtaking 360° panoramic view, particularly stunning at sunrise and sunset. Pa La-U Waterfall (★★★) This waterfall, about 60 kilometers from Hua Hin, is located in Kaeng Krachan National Park. It's a beautiful natural area, but not the most photogenic waterfall in Thailand. Khao Ta Mong Lai Forest Park is a mountainous park right by the sea at the end of Ao Noi Beach. A lovely hike along the coast is recommended. If you plan to explore the entire Ao Noi bay, don't miss the small, wooden hall of Wat Ao Noi, located just before the beach, and the stairs leading to a cave containing two reclining Buddha statues. Khan Kra Dai Cave actually contains two caves. The more famous one is reached via a stepped path in the mountains along the sea. Here, too, you'll find two reclining Buddha statues. Cycling to the cave is worthwhile, as you can visit Wat Ao Noi, the beach, and even the fishing harbor nearby. Sai Cave in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park is a little-visited natural wonder with magnificent stalactites shaped like a waterfall. The journey there is arduous unless it's a very long one.
