Hat Wanakorn National Park Beach, Prachuap Khiri Khan

Under endless rows of casuarina pines, Hat Wanakorn offers a breezy, pine-scented shoreline where the soundtrack is birds and distant waves. It is a classic Thai “ngan thale” picnic beach, not a swim hotspot, which makes it beautifully calm during Songkran. The sand is wide, the sea often shallow and a bit choppy, and there is ample shade for hammocks, books, and naps.

The park has a peaceful campground and a handful of simple bungalows, plus small local eateries just outside the gate. Sunrise walks, shell collecting, and easy bicycle spins along the quiet access road are the main events. You will not find bars or loud music here, only the chance to reset your pace and enjoy a low-key coastal day. Bring cash for the national park fee and basic supplies, services are intentionally limited.
