You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.202.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:04, 17 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The long coast of the Gulf of Thailand has many sandy beaches. One of the best known, [[Hua Hin]], has been a popular [[resort town]] since King [[Prajadhipok]] (Rama VII) built a summer palace there. From the coast the land quickly rises into the Tenasserim Hills, the mountain chain that forms the border with Myanmar. Due to its narrow watershed, the rivers in the province are all small. The only one of significance is the [[Pranburi River]] in the north. Among the smaller rivers is the [[Khlong Kui]].<ref>[http://www.thailandtourist.net/guide/8_0_14_1_Geography---Thailand-Tourist.net-a-Best-Destination-Travel-Guide-by-Travelindex.html Geography of Thailand] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091115200201/http://www.thailandtourist.net/guide/8_0_14_1_Geography---Thailand-Tourist.net-a-Best-Destination-Travel-Guide-by-Travelindex.html |date=2009-11-15 ))</ref>

==History==
[[File:Prachuap Khiri Khan City Pillar Shrine.jpg|left|thumb|180px|Prachuap Khiri Khan [[Lak Mueang]]]]
The city of Muang Na Rang was reconstructed after it had been abandoned during the fall of the [[Ayutthaya Kingdom]] in 1767. The town was rebuilt at the mouth of the Ron River and renamed "Prachuap Khiri Khan" in 1855, which means 'city in the mountains'.

King [[Mongkut]] gathered the people of three towns—Bang Nangrom, Kui Buri, and Khlong Wan—and resettled them in the rebuilt city. At the same time, he renamed a portion of what is now [[Trat province]] and [[Koh Kong province]] in Cambodia "Patchan Khiri Khet". The name was chosen to rhyme with "Prachuap Khiri Khan" on the opposite side of the [[Gulf of Thailand]] at the same latitude.<ref name="BP-20190801">((cite news |last1=Mekloy |first1=Pongpet |title=Not What It Seems |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/travel/1722527/not-what-it-seems |access-date=1 August 2019 |work=Bangkok Post |date=1 August 2019))</ref>

In 1868, King [[Mongkut]] invited foreign guests to Prachuap Khiri Khan to watch a [[Solar eclipse of August 18, 1868|solar eclipse]] he had predicted for 18 August. The dignitaries viewed it from an observation point in the marshes near Sam Roi Yot. He contracted [[malaria]], of which he died on 1 October.

In the reign of [[King Rama II]], a new city was established at the mouth of the I Rom Canal known as Muang Bang Nang Rom. Prachuap became a seaside resort during the reign of [[King Rama V]]. Besides tourism, the province is heavily agricultural. Coconuts are a major crop. As much as 40 percent of farmers in Prachuap Khiri Khan solely cultivate coconuts.<ref>((cite news |last1=Theparat |first1=Chatrudee |title=Farms to get B12bn for upgrade |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/news/1629359/farms-to-get-b12bn-for-upgrade |access-date=2019-02-18 |work=Bangkok Post |date=2019-02-15))</ref>

At the beginning of [[World War II]], [[Japan]]ese troops invaded Thailand. On 8 December 1941, they struck first near the city of Prachuap Khiri Khan. After resisting the Japanese in the [[Battle of Prachuap Khiri Khan]], after several hours the defenders were ordered to cease fire by the government in Bangkok.

=== Archaeology ===
The discovery of 3,000 years old cave paintings was announced by archaeologists from the Fine Arts Office in a cave at the [[Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park|Khao Sam Roi Yod National Park]] in May 2020. Some of the depicted pictures are still visible and clear, while some paintings were damaged by limestone etching. According to archeologist Kannika Premjai, paintings describe humanlike figures with accessories on their bodies, hunting scenes with bow and arrow. Moreover, there is also an animal figure seems to be serow (a goat-like mammal found regionally) found among the drawings.<ref>((Cite web|title=Ancient cave paintings discovered in western Thailand|url=https://www.msn.com/en-sg/news/world/ancient-cave-paintings-discovered-in-western-thailand/ar-BB14xLre?li=BBr8Cnr|website=www.msn.com|access-date=2020-05-31))</ref>
