Phetchaburi
เพชรบุรี
Phetchaburi is a province of remarkable cultural depth, with a hilltop royal palace (Phra Nakhon Khiri), Khmer-era cave temples adorned with centuries-old murals, and a thriving tradition of dessert-making that earns it the title of Thailand's sweetest province. The Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand's largest, covers over 2,900 square kilometres of pristine forest and is a premier birdwatching destination. The coastal area around Cha-am offers a more relaxed beach alternative to the busier resorts further south.
