💡 Tips

  • Visit the Noen Nang Phraya viewpoint at sunset for the most iconic view of the winding coastal road.
  • Rent a bicycle to explore the Chalerm Burapha Chonlathit scenic route at a leisurely pace.
  • Keep an eye on the tide; at high tide, some sections of Kung Wiman beach almost disappear.
  • Park only in designated areas at the viewpoints as the road is narrow and has many sharp curves.
  • Check out the nearby Kung Krabaen Bay Royal Development Study Center for a walk through the mangroves.
