What do I need to know before moving to Prachuap Khiri Khan?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Prachuap Khiri Khan, they said:

"Prachuap Khiri Khan is a province in southern Thailand known for its beautiful beaches, national parks, and relaxed lifestyle. Before moving there, expats should be aware of several things. Firstly, the cost of living in Prachuap Khiri Khan is relatively low compared to other parts of Thailand, but it's still important to budget carefully. Secondly, the local language is Thai, and while some locals speak English, it's beneficial to learn some basic Thai phrases to help with daily life. Thirdly, the climate is tropical, with high temperatures and humidity year-round, and a rainy season from May to October. Fourthly, healthcare facilities in Prachuap Khiri Khan are adequate for minor health issues, but for serious conditions, you may need to travel to Bangkok. Fifthly, the province is less developed than tourist hotspots like Phuket or Pattaya, so be prepared for a slower pace of life and fewer amenities. Sixthly, the local cuisine is heavily seafood-based due to the province's coastal location, so it's a paradise for seafood lovers. Seventhly, it's important to respect Thai customs and traditions, such as removing your shoes before entering someone's home and not touching someone's head. Lastly, while Prachuap Khiri Khan is generally safe, it's still important to take standard precautions to protect your personal safety and belongings," said one expat who made the move to Prachuap Khiri Khan.
