Tucked away beneath the shadows of Khao Takiab hill lies a mesmerizing seaside resort town that is renowned for its pristine beaches and its cultural highlights. Frequented by visitors from across the globe this idyllic paradise locale is one of the most coveted beach holiday destinations in Thailand due to the shallow waters that surround the seaside hamlet. Vast expanses of sandy beaches are in fact a hallmark of this resort town that is ideally suited for young children and beach sporting activities. Wider and flatter in nature to the beaches of nearby Hua Hin, Khao Takiab is well suited for beach football, takraw and a popular Finnish game invented by locals. Water skiing, jet skiing and parasailing are other popular sports in the area which are also known as banana boating activities.
Kayakers can also rent gear from kayak rentals on the beachfront and explore the bay at their own pace while working up a healthy sweat. Kite surfing is another hot-pick sporting activity here as the strong gusts of wind and massive waves make for an adventurous kite surfing experience from November to January.
Seafood lovers can savour the best of Thai cuisine at the many seaside restaurants in Khao Takiab which range from informal eateries to fine dining restaurants. Cultural highlights include Khao Takiab temple which sits atop of Monkey Mountain with golden Buddha statues towering above the surrounding landscapes. Wat Nowkan is another must-see temple in the area while Wat Huay Mongkol house the largest sculpture of Luang Phor Thaud in the world.
