Government & Economy

Prachuab Khiri Khan is administratively divided into 7 districts and 1 sub-district:

The majority of the population is involved in agriculture, especially seasonal rice farming and fruit growing. The four main economic crops are pineapples, coconuts, sugar palm and rice. Fishing is another major income earner in the province.

The people of Hua Hin district, a popular seaside resort, and to a lesser extent Pran Buri, derive a large portion of their income from tourism. Hotels, bars and restaurants are plentiful in the town. Tourist souvenirs are made from shells and coconut shells.

Emblem of the province: Khuha Sawan Pavilion, at the Phraya Nakorn Cave, in front of Luk Island—the original site.

The Khuha Sawan Pavilion was constructed during the reign King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). It was often visited by the subsequent monarch, King Rama VI.
