Bang Nang Rom Bay is located between Prachuap Khiri Khan and its satellite beach at Ao Noi. This prosperous Thai fishing village has a reputation for making excellent wooden fishing vessels by hand. Once finished, the boats are either sold to neighbouring fishing communities, or used by local fishermen to catch a prized local fish called ching chang, which is dried and then sold to South Asian buyers.
