Chronicles of Prachuap Khiri Khan
Prachuap Khiri Khan, a coastal town in southern Thailand, was established in 1910 as a minor fishing port.

The local culture is a blend of rural and coastal traditions, with a strong emphasis on seafood and community events. The annual Phra Phra Chao Taksin Maharat Festival, held in June, celebrates the town's patron saint and attracts visitors from across the region. The town's laid-back atmosphere and stunning natural scenery have made it a popular destination for Thai tourists and expats alike.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sunbeach Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Request a room on a lower floor (up to 3rd floor) facing the town side of the hotel to minimize street noise. This will also give you easier access to the hotel's facilities.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 4th floor or higher, as they may be closer to the service entrance and potentially noisier. Additionally, rooms near the lift may experience noise from its operation.
Best views

Quietest floors
Floors 1-3 are likely the quietest, given the hotel's address in the city centre and the assumption of a standard 3-storey building layout.
