The notorious Khuk Khi Kai, just before Laem Sing beach, was built to hold Thais who were against the French occupation of Chanthaburi in 1893.
A 7-metre high, square-shaped prison, it was built in bricks with each side measuring 4.40 meters. The walls were holed for ventilation.
The porous roof is said to have been used as a chicken coop through which the birds dropped their excrements.
