Prachuap
Khiri Khan is located some
281 kilometers 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.
Prachuap Khiri Khan is now divided into 7 districts and 1
sub-district: Muang Prachuap Khiri Khan, Bang Saphan, Bang Saphan
Noi, Hua Hin, Kui Buri, Pran Buri, Thap Sakae
and Sam Roi
Yot sub-district.
