Many towns and cities in Thailand have "city spires" basically monuments to the prosperity of the place. The spire in PKK is said to be the best in the country. I could not possibly comment on that but I can tell you that it is quite impressive. In the evening when the heat abates a bit, the small park surrounding the spire doubles as a sort of excercise place with joggers, walkers and even practitioners of tai chi doing their respective things. You cannot get into the building itself but it is worth a visit just for a look

As I have mentioned elsewhere, Prachuap Khirikhan does not seem to be crowded with tourists but those that do come are certainly well served by the Tourist Information Centre which is an absolute credit to the city. I had occasion to visit there twice. The first time was on my arrival, when the helpful, English-speaking lady suggested a hotel I was very pleased with and the second time was in relation to a visa extension. A different lady dealt with me and she was similarly helpful. Not only did she 'phone the immigration office to make enquiries for me (it is some distance out of town, see seperate tip) she also secured an English speaker on the 'phone so I could talk to him and ensure she had unsderstood my requirements properly, which she had.

There are not many "attractions" in PKK but most visitors will find themselves at some point wanting to climb Khao Chong Krachok alternatively known as Magic Mirror Mountain, the hill to the North of the city that dominates the local skyline. Inevitably, I fell prey to this desire.
People who know me well know I have an aversion to gyms and the like, so what possessed me me to slog up 396 steps to the temple at the top I really don't know. It was pretty gruelling in the heat of the day. An added problem was trying to negotiate the literally hundreds of monkeys charging about the place. At that time of the afternoon local ladies congregate to feed them, and there is a veritable avalanche of hissing, snarling fur barrelling down the steps making the upward progress even more wearing. You don't want to be accidentally bitten or scratched by them, as monkeys can carry rabies, like most warm blooded animals.
When I eventually arrived at the top, there was no-one there save for a lone monk sweeping up the leaves on the ground. He smiled at me in that serene way unique to Buddhist monks, and carried on with his task. Maybe they really do know something we don't. There is also a slightly incongruous billboard proclaimng you the "Conqueror of 396 steps." Altough the day was slightly hazy, the views were pretty spectacular and you can see all the way to the Myanmar border which here is a scant 11km. distant.
There is a small temple at the top called Wat Thammikaram which was founded in 1922 by King Rama VI after he had climbed the "mountain". As I was entering a temple complex, I did the proper thing and removed my shoes, and it was then that I discovered another hazard. The areas the industrious monk had not swept, as well as leaves displayed considerable evidence that the monkeys here are not house trained. If you visit, tread carefully!
There is a small admission charge payable at the bottom, and due to it's very nature, this attraction is not suitable for mobility impaired visitors.

A: Just look like a tourist and there will be any number of "agents" willing to take you to your destination. Koh Samui is popular so there will be a lot of boats.
