Let's get to know Khlong Wa first.

..

Where is Khlong Wa?

When I told everyone that I was going to visit Khlong Wa,

Many people looked confused. Where is this place in the world? Hmm?

Khlong Whale: A Hidden Gem in Prachuap Khiri Khan

Khlong Whale is a small, charming village nestled within the Mueang District of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. This idyllic community boasts a serene atmosphere, surrounded by lush mountains and the sparkling coastline.

The tranquility of Khlong Whale makes it the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway. Its peaceful ambiance offers a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Join us as we explore the hidden treasures of Khlong Whale in this captivating series. In our first episode, we delve into the diverse accommodation options available, catering to both budget-conscious backpackers and those seeking luxurious comfort.

Despite the abundance of backpacker-friendly hostels, Khlong Whale also offers a limited selection of hotels and resorts for those who prefer a more upscale experience. With only three to four such establishments currently operating, discerning travelers are encouraged to plan their stay in advance.

For this trip, we came as a family.

We brought both my mother and my mischievous nephew, so we wanted to find a place to stay that would work well for everyone.

We came across this place and thought it would be perfect for us.

AT T Boutique Hotel

Although the name suggests a boutique hotel, this is actually a luxurious and stylish establishment.

The modern design of the hotel evokes the feeling of a chic high-rise apartment in the heart of the city.

Please note: As there is no text provided, I am unable to translate anything. Please provide the text you would like me to translate, and I will be happy to assist you.

However, the view that we see is not the usual traffic jam.

Instead, it is a view of the sea, and most importantly, it is right on the beach of Klong Wa!

And of course, with this kind of relaxed beachfront atmosphere,

the beachfront area here will be the restaurant zone.

which will have a full range of food and beverage bars, so you don't have to go anywhere else.

Some weekends, there are also mini-concerts here, truly closing the job of chill.

Let's continue and take a look inside the room.

We chose to stay in a Family Room.

It is perfect for families, as it allows everyone to sleep together without feeling lonely.

Please note: As there is no text provided, I am unable to translate anything. Please provide the text you would like me to translate, and I will be happy to assist you.

And here's the view from our room, the atmosphere is great, very enjoyable.

Pictures to confirm that it is really by the sea.

This hotel is arguably the most luxurious in the area. Therefore, you can rest assured that the amenities and services are top-notch. Additionally, there are many stylish corners in the hotel that are perfect for taking photos.

Note: The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

No need to worry about your parents complaining when you bring them here.

We've got you covered. No more accusations that we youngsters only bring our parents to uncomfortable places. 55555

We also have a playroom for the little ones.

They'll have so much fun they won't want to leave their room. Haha!

This text is already in English and does not require translation.

In my personal opinion, this place caters to a wide range of audiences.

This is due to the diverse selection of room styles available.

In terms of pricing, considering it's a 4-5 star hotel, it's actually quite affordable. The price is definitely justifiable given the unparalleled privacy and ambiance.

Not as luxurious as it is out of reach, the feeling is more accessible than other places.

Anyway, if anyone is looking for good accommodation near Klong Wala, I would recommend this place as a really interesting option!

EP.2 Where to go in Klong Wala?

Although Klong Wala is a small community, there are many interesting things to do.

This time, I'm saying goodbye to hiking and throwing away the adventure.

Change to a soft line that the whole family can go to. Hehe

Here we go!

"Ao Prachuap"

After settling into our accommodation and unpacking our belongings,

We headed straight to Ao Prachuap.

We opened Google Maps and pinned "Saranwithi Bridge",

which is a landmark for visiting Prachuap Khiri Khan.

Every Friday and Saturday night, there is a walking street market here.

The walking street market here is like a gathering of people from all over the province. It's very lively.

Let's just say that if you have a thousand baht, you'll spend a thousand baht. If you have ten thousand baht, you'll spend ten thousand baht. 555555

But wait, the walking street market is just an appetizer.

It's just a teaser, a teaser, haha.

…

But there's another highlight that everyone shouldn't miss!

That is "a boat trip to watch the sunset".

This activity is a boat tour of the city of Prachuap Khiri Khan.

It will give you a clear view of what the city of three bays is like!

She's really beautiful. I was indifferent at first, but the further I went out to sea,

the clearer it became that the sky and the sea are truly this shade of blue!

This is the perfect time to watch the sunset. Don't miss it!

The boat service provides snacks.

Or if you want to bring your own food and drinks, they don't mind. It's very freestyle.

But if you haven't prepared anything, there's a bar on the boat. It's super cool.

The budget is only 300 baht per person.

This kind of relaxing experience makes you forget everything.

It's worth it and good for your heart! If you're interested, go try it out!

P.S. It is recommended that you inform the hotel to make a reservation. It is easier, the price is the same, and there is no additional charge.

Let's continue to chill at the "Prachuap Khiri Khan Walking Street".

The amazing thing about Thailand is that every place has a Night Market selling a mix of things.

But the highlight of the Prachuap Khiri Khan Walking Street is the food!!!

There are so many shops, lined up in a long row.

I walked until I was tired, and then I ate. It's a cycle, haha.

English:

Notes:

• The original text is empty, so the translation is also empty.
• The HTML structure is preserved in the translation.
• The tone of voice is simple and short, as requested.
• The translation is of the same quality as a local speaker.

The most important thing is that the prices are really cheap, like walking around a flea market when I was a kid.

There are so many things to see that I'm starting to get confused and full. 5555

Anyway, I'll take you on a short tour, no more than 1 minute.

Let's GO!

Let's warp to the morning atmosphere here!

Our first destination this morning is the "Khlong Wan Morning Market."

Whale Canal is a small community, making it perfect for a leisurely bike ride.

You'll mostly see houses of the local community. Enjoy a slow-paced ride and take photos along the way.

There are still many wooden houses, giving the area a classic look.

We arrived before we even got tired, lol.

The morning market is like a fresh market, but the highlight is the price, hehe.

Most of them are local villagers who come out to sell things.

The prices here are incredibly low. Everything looks delicious and shockingly affordable.

This is it... a bestseller, sold out quickly. The picture shows the last bowl.

Mackerel rice porridge, 15 baht per bowl, looks delicious.

The uncles and aunts here are very lovely. Everyone always teases each other.

For example, if we take a picture of this uncle, someone else will always shout and tease him, making him embarrassed. 55555

Note: I have uploaded the images as requested by Uncle. Hehe, I wonder if he remembers me. >/<

Morning market hours: The morning market starts from early morning until before 8:00 AM. Plan your visit accordingly!

The awesomeness of Khlong Wa doesn't stop there.

There's also a nearby educational attraction that's worth checking out!

The Huay Kaew Aquarium

Located in the Science Park, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, Huay Kwang.

It feels like I'm back in science camp when I was a kid.

There are a lot of children here, and they are very lively.

This is likely a popular destination for school field trips.

I vaguely remember visiting here a long time ago, but I don't have any specific memories. 55555

Anyway, let's take a look inside.

If you visit here, you will be able to experience marine life up close.

Whether it's freshwater, seawater, or broth, the latter isn't it, haha.

They will have the area divided into zones, just walk along the path.

The interior of the exhibition begins with an introduction to the ecosystem.

A wide variety of aquatic animals are on display.

The collection of aquatic animals is quite extensive and well-presented.

This is only a fraction of what you see, and there are also Big Tanks demonstrating feeding.

As well as underwater tunnels, opening up the underwater world for everyone to see up close.

Underwater Fun Without Getting Wet!

Hooray!

More details: http://www.waghor.go.th/

Due to the unsuitable conditions of Klong Wal Beach for swimming, we recommend an alternative for those who love the sea: Ao Manao.

Ao Manao offers a unique underwater experience without getting wet!

Enjoy the beauty of the ocean from the comfort of a glass-bottom boat or by snorkeling in the shallow waters.

This is the perfect option for families with young children or anyone who wants to experience the underwater world without getting soaked.

Come and explore the wonders of Ao Manao!

Perhaps because Ao Manao is located within the 5th Air Wing of the Royal Thai Air Force.

Being a military area, everything seems to be in order.

And most importantly, the beach here is as smooth as anyone else's!

Note: The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

The perfect combination: a canvas chair, the sea, and a breathtaking mountain view!

EP.3 What to buy at Klong Wua?

When you find something cool, you want to tell everyone, right?

But what's the best way to show off your travel finds subtly? Souvenirs, of course! 55555

…

Just kidding, haha. I actually want to focus on the community's products.

Since this is a fishing village, of course, the seafood must be amazing!

The first recommended souvenir is processed seafood.

The locals told me that this is their own special recipe.

Come and try it! We have both retail and wholesale options available.

…

Another famous local souvenir is the Khlong Wan Cake.

Everyone is welcome to share with their friends.

It's like going to Phetchaburi and having to buy Khao Mao Kaeng. Here, you have to buy Khlong Wan Cake.

There are 5 flavors to choose from: Vanilla/Coffee/Pandan/Orange/Fresh Butter.

Only 35 baht per box!

The shop is located past the Seven Eleven in Khlong Wan. Look out for the shop!

For those looking for a weekend getaway not too far from Bangkok,

Try changing your usual routine and come experience the awesomeness of this place!

After this trip, we don't want "Klong Whale" to be just another option.

With this level of awesomeness, it should be a place that shouldn't be overlooked.

...

And here it is, we've made a map for everyone.

Save it and pack your bags for Klong Whale, hey!

If you have any further questions, feel free to send us a private message. We are always happy to help.

The most important thing is that we all work together to protect the small things that have a big impact on our relaxation, like this place.

We want it to be around forever, so let's grow slowly and steadily. "Klong Whale"
