Khao Ta Mong Lai Forest Park Campsite

Prachuap Khiri Khan


There's a shady, seldom-used campground in this park with some of the cleanest facilities in Thailand. There are simple bungalows, but they're intended for large groups. Since it's across the bay from the city centre, you get some great sunsets.
