Prachuap Khiri Khan
POP 86,870
A sleepy seaside town, Prachuap Khiri Khan is a delightfully relaxed place; one of the
real jewels of this part of Thailand. The broad bay is a tropical blue punctuated by bob-
bing fishing boats and there are tremendous beaches close by, all overlooked by honey-
combed limestone mountains - scenery that you usually have to travel to the southern An-
daman to find.
In recent years, expats have discovered Prachuap's charms and begun defecting here
from the overdeveloped Samui archipelago. But their numbers are still small, leaving
plenty of room on the beaches, at the hilltop temples and the many excellent seafood res-
taurants.
