LOCATION

PRANBURI, THAILAND

Pranburi is Thailand most recently discovered kiteboard location and by far the place that can offer the
strongest winds in the country at the right time of year, which just happen s to be when the KTA will be there.

As you can see it’s a classic Thai beach location, long stretches of white sand and clear blue water that gives mostly flat water conditions with some swell and chop as the winds pick up. On the inside the water is shallow with a steady slope towards deeper water.

Pranburi is a small more local Thai tourist type location and although it does boast 5 and 6 star resort
accommodations, mostly it offers boutique style hotels and bungalow accommodation. On the whole Pranburi is a mellow laid back spot with a quite nightlife of local bars and eating places, with the more full on action to
be found half an hour away in the city of Hua Hin.
