Amphoe Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan (thailändisch อำเภอเมืองประจวบคีรีขันธ์) ist ein Landkreis (Amphoe – Verwaltungs-Distrikt) in der Provinz Prachuap Khiri Khan. Die Provinz Prachuap Khiri Khan liegt im Südwesten der Zentralregion von Thailand. Lage Amphoe Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan liegt am Golf von Thailand etwa 280 km südwestlich der Hauptstadt Bangkok.

In Tambon Huai Sai befindet sich die schmalste Stelle der Landmasse von Thailand auf der Malaiischen Halbinsel. Von der Golfküste zur Grenze mit Myanmar sind es hier nur 11 Kilometer. Geschichte In der frühen Rattanakosin-Periode gründete König Phra Phutthaloetla (Rama II.) die Stadt (Mueang) Bang Nang Rom an der Mündung des Nang-Rom-Kanals. König Mongkut (Rama IV.) änderte den Namen von Mueang Bang Nang Rom in Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan. Der Name sollte sich mit Mueang Patchanta Khiri Khet (heute Provinz Koh Kong in Kambodscha) auf der anderen Seite des Golfs von Thailand reimen. Im Jahr 1894 stellte König Chulalongkorn (Rama V.) Mueang Prachuap unter die Verwaltung von Mueang Phetchaburi. 1898 verlegte er das Verwaltungs-Zentrum von Mueang Kui an die Ko-Lak-Bucht (auch: Prachuap-Bucht). 1906 wurden Mueang Pranburi, Kamnoed Nopphakhun und Prachuap zum neu eingerichteten Mueang Pranburi zusammengelegt. Die neue Stadt wurde zur Hauptstadt einer neuen Provinz unter der Verwaltung des Monthon Ratchaburi. Um einer Verwechslung der Stadtnamen vorzubeugen, änderte König Vajiravudh (Rama VI.) am 16. August 1915 den Namen des Kreises an der Prachuap-Bucht zurück in Prachuap Khiri Khan.

Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan district

Mueang Prachuap Khiri Khan (Thai: เมืองประจวบคีรีขันธ์, pronounced [mɯ̄aŋ prā.tɕùap kʰīː.rīː kʰǎn]) is the capital district (amphoe mueang) of Prachuap Khiri Khan province, central Thailand. History During the Ayutthaya period (1351-1767), the district was the site of Na Rang town. In the early-Rattanakosin era, King Rama II established Mueang Bang Nang Rom at the mouth of the Nang Rom canal. But, as the land was not fertile, the king moved the city center to Mueang Kui. The new city name was kept. In the reign of Mongkut, King Rama IV, Bang Nang Rom, Kui, and Klong Wan towns were merged into Prachuap Khiri Khan, meaning 'town with clusters of mountains'. In 1894 King Chulalongkorn placed Mueang Prachuap under Mueang Phetchaburi. In 1899, the town hall was moved from Kui town to Ao Koh Lak, (Ao Prachuap). In 1906 the monarch merged Mueang Pranburi, Kamnoed Nopphakhun, and Prachuap, and established Mueang Pranburi to keep the name of Mueang Pran. The new city was made a province under the control of Monthon Ratchaburi. To prevent city name confusion, King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) changed the district name back to Prachuap Khiri Khan on 16 August 1915. Geography The district is known as the "city of three bays", as on its eastern shores are the bays of Ao Noi, Ao Prachuap and Ao Manao. Neighboring districts are Kui Buri to the north and Thap Sakae to the south. To the west is the Tanintharyi Region of Myanmar, to the east the Gulf of Thailand. Thailand is at its narrowest in this district, with only 11 km between a point close to the border checkpoint of Dan Sing Khon (ด่านสิงขร) on the Myanmar border and the Gulf of Thailand. Administration The district is divided into six sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 53 villages (mubans). The town (thesaban mueang) of Prachuap Khiri Khan covers the complete tambon Prachuap Khiri Khan as well as parts of Ko Lak and Ao Noi. Parts of tambon Khlong Wan belong to the township Khlong Wan. Folklore The district has folklore about the origin of the names of various landscapes in the local area, as well as other places in the Gulf of Thailand, including islands, bays or mountains. "The Story of Ta Mong Lai", a story of Prachuap Khiri Khan fisherman named Ta Mong Lai who live in Ao Noi. Ta Mong Lai and his wife, Yai Rampung, have only one beautiful daughter named Yomdoei. One day, he and his wife quarrel about Yomdoei's marriage. When he agreed to allow Yomdoei to marry the son of lord of China, but Yai Rampung agreed to allow Yomdoei to marry the son of the Phetchaburi governor. Therefore, they quarrel violently and throwing things at each other. Until finally they all died and their bodies with various belongings became places such as Khao Ta Mong Lai, Hat Mae Rampung, Ko Nom Sao, Khao Lommuak, Khao Chao Lai, Ko Sak, Khao Takiap, Khao Chong Krachok etc. References

Sattahip district

Sattahip (Thai: สัตหีบ, pronounced [sàt.tā.hìːp]) is a district (amphoe) in Chonburi province, Thailand. It is at the southern tip of the province southeast of Bangkok.

Admiral Prince Abhakara Kiartivongse, a son of King Rama V, was sent to create a naval base at Sattahip.

These islands are Ko Phra, Ko Yo, Ko Mu, Ko Tao Mo, Ko Nen, Ko San Chalam and Ko Bo. The minor district (king amphoe) Sattahip was created on 1 April 1937 by separating the sub-districts Sattahip and Na Chom Thien from Bang Lamung district. It was upgraded to a full district in 1953.
