A Glimpse into Rural Charm: Where Goats Graze by Pranburi Dam, Prachuap Khiri Khan

If you're exploring Prachuap Khiri Khan, you might discover charming spots by Pranburi Dam (เขื่อนปราณบุรี) where local villagers bring their goats to graze freely. These aren't fixed farms, but shifting grazing grounds, offering a beautiful glimpse into their everyday lives and the natural beauty of rural Thailand.

What to Discover Here

  • Observe Goats & Their Keepers: See villagers' goats (and sometimes sheep) grazing. You might find small bags of goat feed for a nominal fee, offered by villagers to help with costs. This is a lovely way to interact and support the community.
  • Enjoy Scenic Views: The dam offers stunning panoramas, fresh air, and picturesque landscapes – perfect for tranquil photos.
  • Experience Local Simplicity: A chance to be present in a beautiful, uncommercialized setting, connecting with the area's genuine rhythm.

Best Time to Visit

For the most enchanting experience, aim for the late afternoon, just before sunset. The cooler air and golden light create a truly peaceful and photographic atmosphere.

A Note on Location and Travel

These rural grazing areas are not standard tourist attractions and can vary in location around Pranburi Dam. As such, having a private vehicle is highly recommended, as public transport is limited. It's an ideal stop for those on a road trip seeking authentic, peaceful encounters away from the crowds.

Location: FQGH+33 Nong Phlap, Hua Hin District, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand

Cha Am and Hua Hin A very different experience awaits at Cha Am and Hua Hin. These two resorts are dignified and a world away from the frenetic experience that Pattaya has to offer. Both are small enough to wander around without the need for transport. The hotels in each resort are no more than minutes from the beachs with many fronting the beach. In Hua Hin the white sand beach strethes for a miles and as on all Thai beaches umbrellas and loungers are provided for comfort and relaxation. Vendors will tempt you with cool drinks, snacks and traditional Thai massage right on the beach, and there are even pony rides available for the young and youngish. For a grandstand view of Hua Hin and the Gulf of Thailand take a tuk tuk to Hin Lek Fai Hill just outside the city. The views from this vantage point are amazing and stretch for miles up and down the coast, little fishing boats and yachts seem perfectly still on the Gulf's calm waters. Also worth a visit is the Monkey Temple w...
