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.
