Bankrut Beach, If you wander down the coast of Prachuap Khiri Khan, past Hua Hin and Prachuap town, you may start noticing quiet beaches with clean water flanked by what seems like endless groves of coconut trees.

Maybe the best of all the beaches in Prachuap is a lovely run of sand that stretches for kilometer after kilometer, interrupted only by a green mountain with a beautiful temple and a Golden Buddha gazing serenly out across the Gulf of Thailand.

If you see that Golden Buddha, you have found Ban Krut

What's more, you have found a place with little to do but enjoy the blue skies, clean air, quiet villages and the most enjoyable beaches on the Gulf of Thailand.
