Take a tour of Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park or Khao Wang | Phetchaburi

Khao Wang is an important tourist attraction and a symbol of Phetchaburi province and is located in the Khlong Kra Saeng subdistrict, Mueang Phetchaburi district, Phetchaburi province.

It is situated on a 92-meter-high hill. King Rama IV commissioned the construction of a palace on this hill for his royal visits and appointed Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Sri Suriyawong (Chuang Bunnag) to oversee the construction, which was completed in 1860. He gave it the gracious name Phra Nakhon Khiri.

Khao Wang boasts numerous royal residences, palaces, temples, and various building complexes, most of which are designed in a style that blends Western neoclassical and Chinese architecture.
