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.
