Prajuab Kirikhan is located 281km south of Bangkok with the population of 18,000. This small yet bustling town is situated on the Gulf of Thailand, 93km south of Hua Hin and 176km north of Chumporn. After the town was abandoned during the fall of Ayutthaya, a new settlement was established in 1845 in the reign of King Rama IV. A force of 2,000 Japanese soldiers landed here on 8 December 1941, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and took over the police station and the railway station before they were repulsed by the Thais. This province is the narrowest part of Thailand, wedged between the mountains along the Myanmese border to the west and the sandy beaches along the coast. The view from the top of Khao Chong Krachok is magnificent. Hua Hin is its major attraction and one of Thailand’s most popular seaside resorts among overseas visitors as well as Thais.
