Prachuap Bay

Prachuap Bay curves into the western shore of the Gulf of Siam, where the Malay Peninsula narrows between the gulf and the mountains to the west. Islands rise within the bay, including Ko Lak, whose silhouette stands above the water near the shore. Along this coast, headlands and sheltered inlets interrupt the long passage between the northern gulf and the southern peninsula, offering landmarks to vessels travelling along the shore.
