    I can see from other comments I'm not the only one really enjoying your channel and this series down to PKK -- far and away better than most vloggers I have seen (but usually can't stomach for too long). Great place and definitely one I can't wait to visit.

    Just stumbled upon your channel a couple days ago. My sister-in-law lives in Bangkok and has been telling us to visit. I’m so sold after watching a couple of your vids. I could live in one of these beach towns for a couple months out of the year. Great vids, thanks for sharing!

    Prachuap Khiri Khan is a peaceful, beautiful, clean and safe city.
    It's a city with beautiful women. and good-hearted people The moon at night shines beautifully against the peaceful sea view. And the night market that is worth walking with the sea breeze😊🫰❤️🏖🏝🌴

    Hiya STL. Sorry for the lateness in watching your video. You know I love your channel. Just had a hectic week. Always has beautiful content and is informative. Which I say every time. Lol.
    If you are reading this. *Let the adverts play. It really helps.*
    It is a gorgeous place.
    Love the doggie on the motorbike.
    I do believe it was David Bowie. 🤩
    The market is so big. Great to see all the food and beverages.
    It amazes me how anyone would want to be negative. But unfortunately, that is what some people are like. They can not help themselves.

    I first went Muang PKK 41 years ago. It’s still the sleepy town that I found back then. The Government had bungalows right at the base of the monkey mountain with sea views. There were some seafood restaurants along the beach road towards the pier that aren’t there now and in the school grounds was a night market that had a superb tham sang (made to order) stall that had a waiter with a towel draped on his arm like a top class restaurant. It’s a classy town. I’ve been back many times over the years and it just gets better. That new place near Sun Beach has some nice rooms.
