Short answer: Pranburi sits just south of Hua Hin — quieter and more private. For boutique beachfront stays choose Pak Nam Pran, with pretty resorts and laid-back dining; for small, quiet beaches midway from Hua Hin choose Khao Tao; for nature, forest and the national park head to Pranburi/Sam Roi Yot.
