Phetchaburi Province

A historic and coastal province southwest of Bangkok, with a hilltop palace, Cha-am Beach and the World Heritage Kaeng Krachan National Park.

Phetchaburi Province lies southwest of Bangkok on the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand. It has a long history and is famous for its traditional sweets. The hilltop palace on Khao Wang in the provincial capital combines Thai and Western architectural styles, and at Khao Luang Cave, sunlight streams in to create a striking scene around the Buddha images. Cha-am Beach on the coast connects with neighboring Hua Hin and is a leisure resort. Kaeng Krachan National Park in the west is a World Natural Heritage site, where you can watch birds, see seas of clouds and spot wildlife. November to April is more suitable. It takes about 2 to 3 hours from Bangkok via the Southern Line railway or by road.
