| 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. |
