If you are looking for a relaxing beach vacation spot that is not too crowded, "Prachuap Bay" in Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan District is the perfect answer. The area of Prachuap Bay stretches from Wing 5 to Bang Nang Rom Beach and Khao Ta Mong Lai, which can be divided into 2 main zones according to the area characteristics: "City Zone", which has a long concrete seawall along the coast to protect against wind and waves, suitable for walking and enjoying the view, and "Bang Nang Rom Zone", which is a quiet sandy beach, suitable for relaxation.
A highlight not to be missed when visiting the city zone is "Saran Withi Bridge", a distinctive bright red concrete bridge that extends into the sea. This is one of the most beautiful sunrise and sunset viewpoints in the city of three bays. And if you walk almost to the end of the bridge, you will find the "Sea Water Level Monitoring Station", which is another interesting check-in point that indicates the hydrological importance of this area. In addition to taking a walk and taking beautiful photos, the cool breeze on the bridge also helps to heal the mind.
The liveliness of Prachuap Bay will multiply on Friday and Saturday evenings because the road along the beach in this area will be transformed into "Prachuap Walking Street", a seaside market that is said to be (possibly) the widest and longest in Thailand! You will enjoy walking around and choosing delicious food, fresh seafood, and many local products amidst a seaside atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else.
For those who plan to stay overnight, don't worry about accommodation. Along the beach road in the city zone, there are many hotels, resorts, restaurants, and chic cafes to choose from, whether it's accommodation with a hundred baht price and a million-dollar view, or a chic cafe with a sea view, you can find it all in one place. Try to experience the charm of Prachuap Bay once, and you will fall in love with this small town.
