Is it worth visiting kui buri?

[the donger]

It's on the southern line so easy to visit. Not much on Google of course. I'm wondering if is worth a visit instead of cha-am or prachap khiri khan? Just for a short break from Bangkok.

Kuri Buri is much better than prachuap.

it has been discussed at length on this forum, never go to prachuap, it is a hell hole !

[poohy]

kui buri is a fantastic place, temple beaches  food and  dirt cheap  hotels, well worth a visit unlike Prachuap..... even Cha am is better than Prachuap

Interesting, didn't know to avoid prachap! What's wrong with it?

I thought prachap looked ok, based on Google image search anyway.  Nicer than chumpon or pranburi which are the other nearby stations. What am I missing?

Don't worry donger, you are only missing the inside humour. Too many people are finding out about this place.

[moose7117]

lets see, whats wrong with Prachuap ?

 

too many girly bars for a start.

too many drunken long short wearing , tattooed, drunken tourists.

the filthy water that they pumping the ocean.

the lack of fine dining.

not enough girly bars.

too many stupid Thai's driving around at 100 MPH.

no taxi's or tuk tuk , so to get anywhere you have to WALK !

too many Leister fans.

overpriced accomodation.

In Prachuap?

[khunano]

Not sure why there is such negativity about Prachuap Kirikhan in some of the posts. It is a pleasant enough town, very tidy, plenty of hotels and restaurants, a beautiful beach right in the town (Prachuap Bay) and if you want more you proceed to Ao Manao (Lemon Bay). This is located on Thai Air Force territory but accessible for the public. Definitely worth a visit. Plenty of dining options there too.

 

About Kuiburi, some nice beaches with plenty of resorts right at them. Very quiet but good to relax for a couple of days. Should have your own transport though.

Don't forget what a poster said on another thread, 'mosquitoes, road noise, little English spoken and narrow sois.

[poohy]

Oh god the Mosquitos nearly as bad as the Leicester fans who dont speak English and block the narrow sois!

 

think that should help clarify   

[tryasimight]

Only went to Prachuap once.

I enjoyed it except for the loud English retirees at a cafe who insisted that everyone should hear their conversation whining about the cost of pay tv. Easy to get up and walk away...which we did.

 

Nice beach and good restaurant just on the beach near where we stayed. Funny seeing a Thai cowboy hawking his nag for tourist to ride.....not that there were many tourists on the beach.

 

Went to a couple of large hotels which seemed overly expensive for a what is essentially a place to sleep.

Found a small hotel that wasn't expensive. Run by a Thai lady with three or four Burmese girls. Very nice people.

When I say small hotel it had everything you would expect, pool, breakfast included, bar etc etc

 

I'd go back there no worries. I reckon I could live there easily.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm now spending a nice few days in prachuap :)  

 

Kui buri also looked lovely but the hotel prices were insane.

That's not the same prachuab I visit pretty regularly. The one I go to s a quiet little town with not many tourists a few good/inexpensive hotels and not bad food

[moose7117]

Don't forget,

the huge rabid monkeys,

mosquitos bigger than helicopters,

the road noise from the highway,

the overinflated costs of living,

Dengue fever !

 

need I go on ?

[moose7117]

Oops I forgot the latest one,

high level alert due to possible terrorist activity due to the anniversary of last years bombings !

 

what a ripper of a place !

[poohy]

And the  muggings and highway robberies i have to fight off  every time i try to enter PKK from the kingdom of Wakor

The deadly snakes you forgot them!!!

 

Talking of terror alerts  mrs Poohy  drove the motorbike around PKK last week

I think his tongue was firmly in his cheek with his comments, especially about the Leicester City fans :D
