Stunning temple in Phrachuap Khiri Khan

#cityplaybook #prachuapkhirikhan #thailand #thailandtrip Wat Thang Sai was such a great find—one of those hidden gems you stumble upon and can’t believe isn’t packed with tourists. Even though the temple looks fairly new, it’s absolutely gorgeous, with intricate details and vibrant colors that make it stand out. The peacefulness of the place really struck me; there were barely any people around, just a few locals stopping by to pray. The main hall is stunning, with a golden Buddha statue and beautiful murals covering the walls. Outside, the grounds are well-kept, with lush greenery and a calm atmosphere. I loved how quiet it was—no crowds, no noise, just the occasional sound of wind chimes and birds. It felt like a place where you could actually sit and reflect without distractions. If you’re in Prachuap Khiri Khan and want to visit a temple that’s off the beaten path, Wat Thang Sai is perfect. It’s not as famous as some others, but that’s what makes it special. No entrance fee, no hassle—just a serene, beautiful spot worth exploring. Definitely left me feeling refreshed.

That is Mae Ramphueng Beach, Bang Saphan District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. If anyone is tired of Hua Hin with a lot of people and wants a peaceful atmosphere but also has the beauty of the sea and eat juicy seafood at a not too expensive price, I recommend driving a little past Hua Hin and you will find the secret of this sea. There are very few people, you can relax to the fullest. This is what it's really like. As for accommodation, you have to come to Ban Krut Beach to find accommodation. #thailand #prachuapkhirikhan #visitfishbridge

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Phra Mahathat Chedi Phakdi Prakat was built as a royal merit-making offering to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great on the occasion of his 50th anniversary of accession to the throne. This chedi boasts stunning architecture, comprising five spires, with the principal spire housing the Buddha's relics. The chedi has five levels, each featuring unique artwork and exhibits depicting Buddhist stories. Wat Thang Sai is located on Khao Thong Chai, offering unobstructed views of the sea and Ban Krut Beach.
