Prachuap Khiri Khan Province Essentials

Prachuap Khiri Khan Province spans a narrow coastal strip between the Gulf of Thailand and the Tenasserim Hills. The region is home to Hua Hin, a royal seaside retreat featuring Victorian-style railway architecture and the retro-themed Plearn Wan market. Natural landmarks include the limestone peaks of Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park and the Phraya Nakhon Cave, which houses a 19th-century royal pavilion. Cultural sites range from the massive bronze statues of Thai kings at Rajabhakti Park to the Luang Phor Thuad pilgrimage site at Wat Huay Mongkol.
