Naklua
Naklua is a place where time seems to flow slower. Narrow streets with fishing shops, the sounds of waves, and the aromas of freshly caught seafood create a unique ambiance. It’s a pleasure to stroll in the mornings, enjoying views of the bay, and in the evening, to visit cozy cafes for a dinner of recently caught shrimp or crabs. But Naklua is not only about traditions. The area offers premier residential complexes like Wong Amat Tower and beautiful beaches with white sand, such as Wong Amat Beach, perfect for retreating from the hustle and bustle. In the evening, take a walk in Lan Po Park or enjoy views from the pier at Sanctuary of Truth—a unique architectural masterpiece that impresses with its scale and details.
