Prachuap Khiri Khan, Western province and administrative division in Thailand.

Located 240 kilometers south of Bangkok, Prachuap Khiri Khan province extends along the Gulf of Thailand with mountain ranges and numerous beaches.

The provincial capital was rebuilt after the fall of Ayutthaya Kingdom in 1767 and received its current name in 1855, meaning city in the mountains.

The provincial seal displays Kuha Karuhas Pavilion inside Praya Nakorn Cave, marking the visit of King Chulalongkorn during his reign.

Eight districts contain 48 subdistricts and 388 villages, with transportation links including Hua Hin Airport and rail connections to Bangkok.

The province marks Thailand's narrowest point at the Isthmus of Kra, measuring just 13 kilometers between the Gulf of Thailand and Myanmar.
