Prachuap Khiri Khan

Prachuap Khiri Khan has served as the administrative centre of its namesake province on Thailand’s Malay Peninsula since the 20th century. The town follows the curve of Ao Prachuap on the Gulf of Thailand, where steep limestone hills rise close to the waterfront. Khao Chong Krachok, topped by a Buddhist temple and known for its macaques, is the city’s defining hill; a long stairway leads above the bay. Nearby Ao Manao is associated with Thai resistance to Japanese landings in December 1941, an important episode in the town’s wartime history.
