Had Puk Tien is also long and quiet, but here you will find a plethora of accommodations and a large statue in the water commemorating Phra Apaimani.
Surrounded by profound natural beauty of long white sand beach and refreshing cool breeze.
This tiny coastal town is very popular on weekend but remains virtually deserted during the week. The coastline is straight, flat and not particularly interesting but fine for a quick dip if you are staying in Phetburi town and there is a multitude of places to eat in the area.
Aside from eating stacks of cheap and tasty seafood under the causarina trees there's not much to do aside from marvel at the statues of Thai mythological characters that are arranged down on the beach. Protagonists in the Thai epic 'Phra Aphaimani', the gruesome six metre tall Pee Seua Samut (an aquatic she-demon) emerging from the sea is particular worthy of comment.Others include a flute playing prince, poised on a nearby pile of offshore rocks and a motley collection of other mermaids, wizened old men and other characters from the same tale.
