Prachuap Khiri Khan Attractions

 
Prachuap Khiri Khan

The small town of Prachuap Khiri Khan, the main town of the province of the same name, lies next to the Gulf of Thailand, 280 km (174 mi.) south-west of Bangkok, and is a jewel as yet widely untouched by tourism.

The long curved coastline here boasts fine sandy beaches and is bordered in the north by a mountainous promontory and in the south by high rocky cliffs. The green mountains of the Tenasserim chain, which extends along the Malay peninsula, form an impressive backdrop. Thai national territory reaches its narrowest point here at Prachuap Khiri Khan (13 km (8 mi.)). Prachuap Khiri Khan itself offers few sights, although the fishing harbor is of interest in the early morning.
