Jeremy, George and I went on a day trip from Hua Hin to Prachuapkirikhan. We went on a mini bus that you find near the clock tower. Our goal was to get to Ao Manao (Lemon Bay) before it rained. We met James Knight, your First friend in the Thailand Tourist Police. Students from the Technical College who were practicing their English interviewed all of us. We had a great day! Thanks to Steve and Nalida from Nalida’s restaurant near Soi 80 who recommended this beach which is about an hour south of Hua Hin.
