Phetchaburi Province

Phetchaburi Province stretches from the Gulf of Thailand coast to the Myanmar border, encompassing coastal plains, the Phetchaburi River basin and forested western mountains. Its provincial capital is known for Phra Nakhon Khiri, a hilltop palace commissioned by King Mongkut in the 19th century, while old-town temples and traditional sweets give the area a distinct central-Thai identity. Inland, Kaeng Krachan National Park forms part of the UNESCO-listed Kaeng Krachan Forest Complex, a large protected landscape shared with neighbouring provinces. On the coast, Cha-am is a long-established seaside resort, contrasting with the farms and canals around the river.
