Ao Prachuap Khiri Kan and Ao Noi are two connected bays and home
to the city of Prachuap Khiri Kan. Ao Prachuap Khiri Kan is
8-km-wide, starting from Khao Ta Mong Lai from the north,
curving towards Khao Lom Mak in the south. In the bay, there are
a number of strange-shaped islets facing the land and giving a
panoramic view. The bay is a good spot for working out,
especially in the morning and in the evening when one can jog or
ride a bicycle along the beach road towards Ao Noi. Visitors can
observe a variety of lifestyles of local people in different
places, ranging fisherman’s village, shops, hotels, government
offices, parks and other recreation sites.
