Manao Bay
This beautiful semi-circular bay is under the care of the Royal Thai Airforce. It is some 5 km south of Prachuab town. Ao Manao was actually the point of invasion of the Japanese Army during the Second World War. Accommodation should be reserved in advanced at the 53rd Squadron, Tel +66 32 611-017, 611-031 ext 2146.
Mirror Mountain (or 'Khao Chong Krajok') is one of the many sites in the vicinity of Ao Manao. To get there, turn left before Manao Bay and you'll see it to the rear of the provincial office. The small hill has a temple on top that can be reached on foot via the steps up the hill. The temple enshrines a Buddha image and a Buddha footprint. On the north side, a depression in the hilltop gives an unusual mirror-like image of the two bays of Ao Manao and Ao Prachuab.
