Sights & Attractions Hua Hin / Cha-Am / Pranburi
 Hua-Hin Beach 
This was the first beach to gain fame and popularity with holiday makers in Thailand. It extends some three kilometers southwards from the fishing village and rocky headland (that gives Hua Hin, literally Rocky Head, its name) until a southern headland where Buddhist temples cling to yet another, somewhat formidable cliff. Its crystal clear waters, clean white sand and wonderful atmosphere make it the number one choice and a dream resort for tourists, having never failed to delight visitors of all ages down the years. There is opportunity to do many water sports and horse riding on the beach.

Sam Roi Yod National Park
A mountain range with 300 peaks. Sheltered in one of its several
caves up in the hills is a royal pavilion, the main attraction
for travelers prepared to go the distance
Khao Luang Cave, located just 5kms north of Phetchaburi town is regarded as
the largest and most important cave of Phetchaburi province.
Waghor Aquarium Prachuab A place around
10 km south of Prachuab in a small district called Waghor. Plenty of good
sized aquariums inside with all manner of freshwater and marine fish, good
info on ecosystems in the surrounding area.
Pranburi
Around 30 kilometers south of
Hua Hin is Pranburi, the Thailand's new coastal hip hotel hotspot
encapsulates serenity and tranquility. Set well away from anything that
could be described as over developed, the beaches are lovely and quiet and
the water is blue, a delightful destination for the beautiful boutique
resorts of
Praseban Evason Hideaway and Aleenta to be located. The town of Pranburi is small and charming with a scattering
of houses, a local school and the Na Huam temple making up the majority of
the local infrastructure. If you get restless, visit the Sam Roi national
park, explore the Tham Praya Nakon cave or clime the Khao Kaloke hill. And
if that’s not enough, slightly more upbeat Hua Hin isn’t too far away to go
for the day or at nighttime.
