It's only 30 kilometers south of Hua Hin, but sleepy Pranburi feels worlds away. Bangkokians fill up the resorts here on the weekends, but even then Pranburi remains a nature lover's dream, with several quiet bays that boast pretty beaches as well as those of Sam Roi Yod National Park towards Pranburi's southern end. During the winter, trade winds make Pranburi an excellent kite-surfing destination, the fresh seafood here will keep travellers gourmet needs sated, and with plenty of small family-friendly eco-resorts like the Aleenta Hua Hin, everyone can enjoy this peaceful beach escape.

- Beaches: "You might want to consider renting a car out of Hua Hin to come here, otherwise you'll be at the mercy of pricey taxis, as unless you are staying in the small town, most of the resorts, nicer bays, and natural attractions are a fair ways away, all requiring transport."
- Best for Beaches Because: For a sleepy beach escape, Pranburi is one of the top choices near Bangkok.
