Prachuap is a cute little city with a few good restaurants and nice hills and beaches to view. The beaches are not really the cleanest in Thailand so swimming should be done in another area of Thailand but the town is fun for a few days and not overcrowded and developed like Hua Hin which has really been over populated and cementified. So try Enjoying Prachuap Thailand. I have friends who live here, having worked in the Scuba Diving business in Phuket for 8 years long ago. That’s why I come back to Prachuap.
The mangrove forest was destroyed so there is this receding beach on a nice north-point overlook.Sunan is contemplating the universe.They got their Pakistan wall covering up in the bungalow.A girl taking a video of the hundreds of crabs running around on the former mangrove forestThe house. In Thailand, because it rains so much, it’s a good idea to have your house elevated. Look at the nice garden Sunan created from nothing.Tangmoo (watermelon) wants a tummy rubAlain preparing the new electric motorcycle. It works well except for a few overly cheapened items.Coffee at a nice coffee shop that will last a few months or a year and close due to lack of customers. That’s a typical business deficit in Thailand, good ideas in the wrong place and for a much too small population.The sign is very cute, i like it.When your ordered item is prepared this beeper will let you know. Going around to various restaurants in Thailand this trip I found these devices had exactly the same wording on the back….interesting. I didn’t expect Yamazaki (famous Japanese bread company) to be here in Thailand, much less in Hua Hin, but here it is. The company used to make only Japanese style bread, soft and squishy, but now makes very good quality French style products. I was pleasantly surprised.

I stayed in a guest house owned by a local well-known professional boxer who also traveled around the world as an internationally recognized boxing referee and umpire. He showed me his trophies numbering more than 50, very impressive.
Breakfast in the morning was Scottish minimalist an interesting house next to the distillery The distillery where Chivas’s headquarters are but where one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland still creates their own single malt which is not made in large of quantities to sell out of the general area.Strathisla is translated as ‘narrow river’These buildings here represent their very famous distillery, very old and a shape which determines how the whiskey is distilled. The equipment is bent sideways to accommodate the roof structureVery limited production The Royal salute series was originally created to celebrate the coronation of Elizabeth II We were just visitors so we did not need to clock in You can see how the equipment is created to fit inside the building which is very old The Chivas brothers bought this distillery because they needed the water and the distilling capacityThis is where we did our tasting From the coronation of Elizabeth II to Charles As you probably know the Chivas series are all blended whiskeys. This one will be an alternative purchase to a very small car

when in the south of Thailand it’s a good idea to not only visit Phuket but also the Phi Phi islands, islands surrounding those islands and also to the other side of Thailand to visit Koh Samui! Koh Panghan and Koh Tao
There are many small beaches like this on Koh TaoShops in old Phuket town Even the kids are getting ready for the lunar new year When you walk on this island, Koh Tao, about every 15 m you come across another dive shop. Do you think he actually uses Michelin tires? Other inhabitants of the island Someone else with the same name of my friend, Mauro, has a pizzeria
