Local Attractions

Three standout attractions are within a 20-minute drive of the resort:

• Pranburi Forest Park: A 10-minute drive north, this protected mangrove forest features elevated wooden boardwalks that wind through tidal wetlands teeming with kingfishers, monitor lizards, and native birdlife. It’s perfect for a gentle morning walk or afternoon nature escape.
• Sam Roi Yot National Park: 20 minutes south of the resort, this dramatic coastal park is home to limestone karsts, hidden coves, and the famous Phraya Nakhon Cave, where a 19th-century royal pavilion sits bathed in sunlight from an opening in the cave ceiling. Hike the gentle trail to the cave or kayak along the coastline for views of wild dolphins.
• Paknampran Fishing Village: Just 5 minutes from the resort, this working fishing village offers authentic Thai street food, fresh seafood at waterfront shacks, and colorful daily fish markets where you can pick up fresh catch to grill at the resort’s barbecue facilities.

Travel Tips

Book a room with an ocean-view balcony for the best sunrise views over the Gulf, noting there is a small extra fee for balcony access. If you plan to explore the national park and local attractions, rent a car or scooter for your stay—free parking is available on-site, and public transport in Pranburi is limited. Bring reef-safe sunscreen for snorkeling and diving trips, and don’t pass up the resort’s on-site massage after a day of hiking. Pack cash for visits to the local fishing village market, as many small vendors don’t accept cards. The best time to visit is between November and February, when cool breezes keep temperatures comfortable and rainfall is minimal.
