Phetchabun
เพชรบูรณ์
Straddling the Phetchabun mountain range between the central plains and the Khorat Plateau, Phetchabun enjoys a cooler climate that supports extensive fruit orchards, particularly tamarind and macadamia nuts. Khao Kho, once a Cold War-era communist insurgency battleground, has been reborn as a popular highland retreat with sea-of-mist viewpoints, glamping resorts, and wind turbine-dotted ridgelines. The province's November lychee and longan harvest festivals and hillside temple Wat Pha Sorn Kaew with its mosaic-covered Buddha statues draw increasing visitor numbers.
