We stayed in Pranburi, a very small town, village really, about 30 minutes drive south of Hua Hin, on the east coast of the peninsular, on the Gulf of Thailand. After a rather disconcerting last half hour when we seemed to be going to the middle of nowhere, we arrived at our hotel, the Praseban, just 14 rooms, most of which were empty that weekend. It was lovely, restful and relaxing. Aside is a video of the hotel.
On our first full day, we woke up to rain! However, we were content to recover from the journey by just sitting around, reading mostly, on our balcony. I took the opportunity to get out the camera, and record the views, the colours were if anything better in the rain, as the bright sunlight can wash them out.

We were right on the beach, which mostly seemed to be deserted, although there were other small hotels and private villas alongside us. To the left was a fishing village, to the right the hills of a National Park. Hotel guests did not use the beach to sunbathe, as the hotels provided the necessary shade, but later in the afternoon, most of the residents went for walks up or down the beach, where there was a surprising variety of things to be watched.
