Itinerary
Wat Ao Noi Temple is stunning its made of teak wood and carved inside and out. There is wonderful picture carvings on the inside walls and marble Buddha statues on plinths. The temple is guarded by two 9 headed serpents with fabulous attention to detail that wrap around the entire temple.. A few mins walk away there is a stairpath that leads up and into the Tham Kan Krai Dai cave where there are 2 reclining Buddha's. In the past, this cave is a place where the boatmen often come to live during the rain. There are also beautiful views.
This Science Park was established at Wa Ko in 1989 to commemorate King Monkut (King Rama IV), who is regarded as the Father of Thai Science Study. In 1968 the King made a trip to Wa Ko to witness an eclipse of the sun after his astronomical forecast. A science museum with many sections for youth education, an Aquarium and a butterfly Garden situated in the compound can be visited every day.
Ao Manao Beach (Manao means Lemon in Thai) is inside a military base. This Area being open to the public. Located 5 km from the city center, this is the nicest swimming beach in Prachuap Khiri Khan. Wedged between two mountains, it is very quiet during the week but a lot more crowded on weekends and holidays when many Thais come here. Then all the area comes alive with food centers, shops, long chair rental shops and large knotted rental shops and activity centers. There is also right next to the airplane runway, an area that is called Historical Park and mainly show some old planes. We will have lunch near the Beach and you will have some time to relax on the Beach or swimming in the nice and clear Water

Our guide, Bee, was extremely knowledgeable and looked after us very well. Would recommend this trip if you want to get away from the touristy hustle and bustle of Hua Hin and get a glimpse of the daily lives and culture of the local people. Unfortunately we were not able to spend time on the beach as it was high tide when we arrived and very choppy waters. This was quite disappointing as we were looking forward to a couple of hours at leisure on a beautiful beach and was one of our main reasons for booking this trip. It’s a shame that this was not communicated to us beforehand rather than when we arrived there and Bee told us that there are only a few times a year that the beach would actually look like the photo in the itinerary…
Thank you for your review. Sorry about the high waves this week, but they were present even in Hua Hin, and no one was able to swim over the past seven days. Unfortunately, the weather is beyond our control.
Tour guide Bobby and our excellent driver. All facets of the tour were memorable (except the lack of butterflies) The 700 steps were certainly challenging in the heat but well worth the effort. l highly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I'm glad that you enjoyed the trip and our tour guide. Sorry for the limited number of butterflies seen. Thank you also for your recommendation and for booking this trip with us.
