Khlong Wan

Khlong Wan sits on Khlong Wan Bay along the Gulf of Thailand in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, where a working fishing coast meets low, wooded hills. This small settlement lies just south of Ao Manao, the broad bay beside Wing 5 air base; it was the scene of a Japanese landing and fierce Thai resistance on 8 December 1941. Offshore waters and the surrounding coast remain central to local livelihoods, with boats, seafood and shorefront markets shaping daily life more than resort development. Farther south, Waghor commemorates King Mongkut’s 1868 solar-eclipse observation at the King Mongkut Memorial Science Park.
