Pranburi is a quiet, but up-and-coming beach resort, ideal for those who are looking for an unspoiled beach and an opportunity to explore nearby Sam Roi Yod National Park.

Situated just 30km south of Hua Hin, Pranburi is beginning to attract more visitors to its quiet and pristine beaches along the Gulf of Thailand. While perhaps not as beautiful as the beach at Hua Hin, Pranburi features a peaceful environment and is located near Sam Roi Yod National Park and Pranburi Forest Park, which features a spectacular mangrove forest where a river flows into the sea.
