Prachuap Khiri Khan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prachuap Khiri Khan is a town in Thailand and is the capital of the Prachuap Khiri Khan province.
Prachuap Khiri Khan is on the coast at one of the narrowest stretchs in Thailand, only 13km from the Burmese/Myanamer border. It is reached from Bangkok via the Southern Bus terminal.
It is home to the 53rd US Airforce base, and was a landing base for Japanese troops during World War II. Today there is a festival to honour the Thai dead.
The area has large pineapple and coconut industries.
