|
| Where is Prachuab Kiri Khan Province? |
|
| Prachuab Kiri Khan is located some 300 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. Hua Hin, its major attraction, is one of Thailand's
most popular seaside resorts among overseas visitors as well
as Thais. Prachuab Kiri Khan is now divided into 7 districts
and 1 sub-district: Amphoe Muang, 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. |
