Laem Sing Historic Sites (Khuk Khi Kai & Tuk Daeng)
ปากน้ำแหลมสิงห์
French occupation period relics at the mouth of the Chanthaburi River, including the Chicken Dung Prison and a red-brick building. The fishing village serves fresh, affordable seafood.
After the 1893 Franco-Siamese conflict, French forces occupied Chanthaburi for 11 years and left two sites at the river mouth. One is the brick Khuk Khi Kai (Chicken Dung Prison), used to hold Thai detainees and named for the chickens kept on its upper level, whose droppings fell through the floor. The other is Tuk Daeng, the red-brick French command headquarters. Nearby are Bairi Phinna Fort from the reign of Rama III and Laem Sing Beach. The river-mouth fishing village has seafood restaurants and a dried-goods market. It is about 25 km from the city.
