Phetchaburi
Phetchaburi is a province known for its natural beauty, with beaches and mountains. Its proximity to Bangkok makes it a popular destination for both Thais and foreign tourists.
Petchaburi is located on the northwest coast of the Gulf of Thailand and borders Myanmar (Burma) to the west, where the densely forested peaks of the Tanaosri Mountains form a natural border between Thailand and Myanmar.
In the present-day Ratanakosin era, Petchaburi has developed into a charming town with peaceful seaside resorts and magnificent nature reserves. Three kings of the Ratanakosin period, Rama IV, V, and VI, established their rainy-season residences here, each building a palace named Phranakhonkhiri, Phraramrajanivet, and Phrarajnivesmarugadayawan, respectively. Therefore, Petchaburi is also known as Muang Sam Wang, the town of three palaces.
Petchaburi province is known for its magnificent historical park, ancient temples, stunning beaches and caves, as well as a wide variety of regional specialties and fresh seafood. Petchaburi is also home to the popular seaside resort of Cha-am, considered the province's most important resort.
