Prachuap
Khiri Khan is located some 281 kms.
South of Bangkok. After the old town
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 mountain
than historical attractions. Hua Hin,
its major attraction, is one of
Thailand’s most popular seaside resort
among overseas visitors as well as
Thais.
