Prachuap
Khiri Khan is located some 281 kilometres south of Bangkok. After the
old town was abandoned during the fall of Ayutthaya, a new settlement was established
in 1845 in the reign of King Rama IV. The province, today, is more famous for
its natural charm of beaches and mountains than historical attractions. Hua Hin,
its major attraction, is one of Thailand's most popular seaside resorts among
overseas visitors as well as Thais.
Prachuap
Khiri Khan is now divided into 7 districts and 1 sub-district: Amphoe Muang
Prachuap Khiri Khan, Amphoe Bang Saphan, Amphoe Bang Saphan Noi, Amphoe Hua Hin,
Amphoe Kui Buri, Amphoe Pran Buri, Amphoe Thap Sakae, and King Amphoe
Sam Roi Yot. |
