Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan

The district covers 830 square kilometers of land featuring coastal plains rising into mountains, with three distinct bays along the Gulf of Thailand.

The district evolved from Na Rang town during the Ayutthaya period, later relocating and receiving its current name under King Rama II's reign.

The district administration maintains 53 villages spread across six sub-districts, preserving local traditions through municipal governance structures.

The district sits at Thailand's narrowest point, extending only 11 kilometers from the Gulf of Thailand to the Myanmar border checkpoint at Dan Sing Khon.

The three adjacent bays of Ao Noi, Ao Prachuap, and Ao Manao shape the district's eastern coastline, creating natural harbors for local maritime activities.
