PHETCHABURI

The most popular attraction in Phetchaburi is the Phra Nakhon Kiri or Khao Wang ( Palace on the hill). Phetchaburi is also home to the southernmost Khmer ruins in Thailand, which date from the time of the Kingdom of Angkor.

PHRA NAKHON KIRI

Built in 1859 by King Rama IV (King Mongkut ) as a breezy retreat from the heat of the surrounding plains. The small mount offers pleasant views of the surrounding area. The palace and accompanying temple and other buildings are well maintained by the Fine Arts Department and have a small but interesting collection of old Royal household items. The path up the hill to the palace is surrounded by monkeys who will snatch any fruit or other foods you are carrying.
