Susan Hoi or Fossil Shell Beach:
is 7kms. from town along the route
to the Noppharat Thara Beach. A tremendous number of shells embedded
near the seashore pilled up a large amount of shells some 40 million
years ago.
Phra
Nakho Khiri: This
covers a hilly area with an old palace and historical temples
in the vicinity of the town. This summer palace was built by King
Rama VI in 1860. It was named "Phra Nakhon
Khiri Palace",
but the folk usually call it "Khao Wang". It consists
of royal halls, temples and groups of buildings, constructed mostly
in harmonious Thai, Western neoclassic and Chinese architectural
styles. The Phra Nakhon Khiri Museum on the western hilltop exhibits
some royal paraphernalia of King Rama IV and King Rama V, decorative
sculptures, and ceramics from China, Japan and Europe. To reach
the hilltop, one can either walk or take a cable car.
