If you’re talking about me, I live in Hua Hin, not Pranburi. Don’t know where the Pranburi Temple is but it’s probably not hard to find.

Digging deeper, I found Dax Ward has a website, but I still can't find a location.

I see he call it deep inside Pranburi Province. So doesn't he understand 'Province' or is it not Pranburi at all?

Not sure about the buildings in this story, but I'm pretty sure the old Webster Thailand campus is abandoned. Could make for an interesting place to visit, and isn't too far from Cha-am or Hua Hin.

It took me about 10 minutes to locate using Google Maps. Wat Huai Prap Wararam. Took a drive up there last week. A bit tricky to get to as the suggested route is blocked. I persevered and found it.

I also went to the "ghost hotel" in Cha-Am, but my wife wouldn't let me go inside. About 500 m NW of Cielo Guest House. Just a few strands of barbed wire to squeeze through. Maybe next time. Mind the soi dogs & cows!

If you drive from Soi 94 to Soi 102 down Soi Charon Pattana 2, just before the foorball station on the right hand side is a big unfinished condo building that's been there at least 8 years. Well there was, demolition moved in a few weeks ago and it's now rubble.
Still workers there, not sure if they are still clearing the site or starting building a new project.

End of this old immigration office (Khlong Road, Smorphrong).

This is what it looks like now.

Wat Huai Prap Wararam
About 50 kms from BluPort
Gmap Streetview only goes up to this point, which I'd think it's paved at least up to the lake. At worse 700 ish meter stroll.
