Kraburi

Kraburi lies beside the river of the same name at the narrow neck of the Malay Peninsula. The river, also called Pak Chan, flows toward the Andaman Sea through a landscape of forested hills and tidal waters. Routes across the Kra Isthmus linked this western waterway with the Gulf of Siam. In the Thonburi and early Bangkok periods, one such route ran between Kraburi and the Chumphon coast.

The later city of Ranong lies here.
