Thailand: 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.

The stump-tailed macaque (Macaca arctoides), also called the bear macaque, is a species of macaque found in South Asia and Southeast Asia.<br/><br/> It is primarily frugivorous, but eats many types of vegetation, such as seeds, leaves and roots, but also hunts freshwater crabs, frogs, bird eggs and insects.<br/><br/> It is generally found in subtropical and tropical broadleaf evergreen forests, in different elevations depending on the amount of rainfall in the area.<br/><br/> It is distributed from northeastern India and southern China into the northwest tip of West Malaysia on the Malay Peninsula.
Prachuap Khiri Khan means ‘town among the mountain chain’. Although little more than a fishing port, the town – which, depending on who you speak to, is either the last provincial capital in Central Thailand, or the first provincial capital in the south – has a distinct charm to it, and is well off the beaten tourist track. That is, tourists pass through all the time, but they rarely stop.<br/><br/> 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. Today, however, the town is a pleasant, laid-back fishing port with colorfully-painted fishing vessels at anchor in the harbor and an attractive waterfront walking street with some very good and reasonably priced restaurants. These aside, there is no nightlife worth speaking of. The town is ringed on the land side with rugged limestone mountains, one of which – Khao Chong Krajok, or ‘mirror tunnel mountain’ – is pierced with a natural opening that appears not unlike a giant mirror, and which is perhaps the town’s most famous natural landmark.<br/><br/> Perched atop Khao Chong Krajok, high above the town, and at the top of a long flight of stone stairs, a revered temple called Wat Thammikaram serves as Prachuap’s most revered site, and offers – besides spiritual enlightenment – fine views across the town and the bay.

Bang Nang Rom Bay is located between Prachuap Khiri Khan and its satellite beach at Ao Noi. This prosperous Thai fishing village has a reputation for making excellent wooden fishing vessels by hand. Once finished, the boats are either sold to neighbouring fishing communities, or used by local fishermen to catch a prized local fish called ching chang, which is dried and then sold to South Asian buyers.
