If you had not guessed from the title already, I was totally amazed by the natural beauty to the West of Hua Hin in Pran Buri. With no expectations I set off in my car on Sunday just to explore nearby locations with my family. Having spent a huge amount of time in Bangkok and Pattaya it was the polar end of the spectrum to this. No traffic, no buildings, clean air and plenty of vegetation – and when I laid my eyes on the Pran Buri Dam it was just awesome.

For me, this country ticks so many boxes as a place to live and explore. Bangkok for business and that city vibe, Pattaya to party and have fun, Hua Hin for the more relaxed family lifestyle and the many islands to spend a few days each time to chill out on. And each of the islands have their own characteristics so you can expect a new adventure on every island you visit.

my advice is keep pristine places secret. As soon as word gets out, it gets over run by the usual idiots and destroyed...

 

I clicked on the link to read more and so much rubbish popped up on screen that I didn't bother going any further. Pranburi is nice, yes, but it's not adding danaboutthailand to my home screen to read about it nice.

He does know how to monetize his life here and his website. Can't blame him for trying but it's too smarmy for my taste. 

I live very near Pranburi but the scenery here seems very similar to most everywhere west of Esan. 

 

Just my opinion though. That and $8 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
