Overview

Pak Nam Pran Buri Beach is a popular kitesurfing beach in the Pranburi area, located at the mouth of the Pranburi river. This long sandy beach is one of the main launch spots for the Hua Hin/Pranburi kite zone, offering flat water near the river mouth and open sea conditions further out. The spot is suitable for all levels thanks to its various water conditions.

The NE monsoon from November to March provides the best wind at 15-25 knots. The river mouth area creates flatter water perfect for beginners and freestyle. Multiple kite schools operate in this area year-round.
