It took a toll on our sanity, but we got to Prachuap Khiri Khan (PKK)... eventually. We stayed near the night market, which was close to the beach and everything else that mattered. We were finally out of the big tourist grid (not counting Damnoen Saduak, because the main attraction there is one of the main attractions in Thailand even though the road there is the least taken), and it was great!
We had fresh seafood, the pride of PKK, wok-fried with egg. I don't know what they meant by "with shell" but I promise there wasn't any.
