Prachuapkhirikhan is a seaside resort in Tambol Klongwan, located about 290km south of Bangkok; about 3 hours by car. Tambol Klongwan is between Myanmar and the Thai Gulf and not far from the narrowest point in Thailand. It boasts nice, peaceful beaches. We had a great time at Ao Manao, where the locals spend their weekend with their families. Very few foreigners were spotted. I had a marvellous time eating fresh steamed crabs(poo talay), oysters(hoi naang rom), prawns (goong) and hor mok.
