Puek Tian Beach

Puek Tian Beach, in Phetchaburi’s Khao Yoi district, is a quiet Gulf of Thailand shoreline known for its broad sandy beach, calm atmosphere, and links to Thai literary history through the statue of Phra Aphai Mani and the mermaid offshore. Less commercial than major resort beaches, it suits visitors looking for a relaxed seaside stop, local seafood, and a glimpse of regional culture. It is a worthwhile choice for day-trippers who prefer simple coastal scenery over busy nightlife or large tourist developments.
