Laem Sing Village, just before the harbour
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.
