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.
