Khuk Khi Kai

Khuk Khi Kai, also known as the Chicken Dung Cell or Chicken Poop Prison, is a former prison located in Laem Sing, Chanthaburi, Thailand. It was built by the French in 1893 during their occupation of the area as part of the Franco-Siamese conflict, to imprison Thai resistance fighters. The square-shaped tower is made from red bricks and is 4.4 meters wide and 7 meters tall, with two rows of slits along the sides. The resistance prisoners were kept on the ground floor of the tower, while above them was a chicken coop. The floor between them was perforated, allowing chicken faeces to fall down on the prisoners below, as a form of torture. The tower was abandoned after the French withdrew in 1904.

Some sources suggest that the story of the prison being used to subject prisoners to chicken poop may be apocryphal, and that the building was only an observation tower. However, the prison is still known for its gruesome past and is a historical site in Chanthaburi province.

Tuek Daeng Red House

Tuek Daeng, also known as the Red Building, is a historical site located 30 km from Chanthaburi town in Thailand. It is a single-storey red brick building with a red-tile roof, built in 1893 by the French during their occupation of the region. The building served as a barracks for French soldiers and later functioned as a military base and living quarters. It was originally constructed on the site of Phikhat Patchamit Fort, whose bricks were used in its construction.

The French used the building as their headquarters until 1904, after which it was converted into a public library and non-formal education center in 1984. Today, it is a tourist attraction that offers insights into the history of the area and features an old French cannon.

Laem Sing Beach

Laem Sing Beach is a peaceful and quiet beach located near Chanthaburi city, Thailand, approximately 20 km away from the Chanthaburi bus terminal. It is known for its natural beauty, particularly on sunny days, and its proximity to the mouth of the Chanthaburi river. However, this location also means that the water can be cloudy with silt, making it less suitable for swimming.

The beach is broad and clean, with big trees providing shade, making it a nice area for picnics. There are also several amenities available for visitors. There are also accommodations available on the beach road, some of which offer sea view rooms.

The 2 sites are small and not worth making a special trip to see. If you are in the area stop and take a few minutes to see and take a few pictures.
