Although Hua Hin is by far the most famous beach resort in Prachuap
Khiri Khan, it by no means exhausts the provinces seaside
venues. Although nowhere else is quite so well developed in terms
of tourism facilities, other spots south along the coast offer basic
comforts and considerable unspoilt scenic charm.

Immediately south of the provincial capital is Ao Manao, a picturesque
bay ringed by a clean white sandy beach, while small offshore islands
add further interest. Heading down the coast, the two districts
of Thap Sakae and Bang Saphan, while of no special interest in themselves,
are the gateways to some good beaches that for the moment remain
largely undiscovered. The best spots are Wanakon and Laem Kum beaches
near Thap Sakae, and Sai Kaeo, Ban Krut, Khiriwong, and Ban Nong
Mongkhon beaches in the vicinity of Bang Saphan.
