Thailand: A temple bell at Wat Thammikaram. Ao Prachuap (Prachuap Bay) seen from Khao Chong Krajok (Mirror Mountain), Prachuap Khiri Khan. In historical terms, Prachuap is significant as one of the seven landing points where Imperial Japanese troops stormed ashore in 1941, on their way south to occupy Malaya and Singapore. The town is ringed on the land side with rugged limestone mountains, one of which is Khao Chong Krajok, or ‘mirror tunnel mountain’. Perched atop the hill is a temple called Wat Thammikaram which serves as Prachuap’s most revered site.
