Petchburi include Lunch (SIC tour on WED only)
TOUR CODE : PB
Depart by bus north to the provincial
capital of Petchburi to visit "Khao Wang",
the Summer residence of King Mongkut (Rama IV). Explore
"Khao Luang" cave housing 170 revered Buddha
statues and proceed to admire the Khmer architecture
at Wat Kamphaeng Laeng. Also visit Petchburi, Wat Mahadhat
and stroll around Petchburi town before returning to
the hotel.
Phra Nakhon Khri (Khao Wang)
This 92-metre hillock on the northern approach to Phetchaburi
provincial capital (some 36 kilometres north of Cha-am),
supports the Phra Nakhon Khiri palace constructed in
1860 by King Rama IV (King Mongkut). Phetchaburi residents
refer to it as Khao Wang, literally Palace Hill.
The style is mainly European with some Thai and Chinese
influences. Sitting on three peaks the temple of Wat
Phra Khew is to the east; the main stupa of Phra That
Chom Phet in the middle and the residential Grand Palace
to the west.
Both Kings Rama IV & V used the palace at their
leisure and to entertain their visitors. After the death
of King Rama V it was used less and less and sadly slipped
into a state of decay. In 1935 it was registered as
a national monument by the Fine Arts Department and
was restored to be a National Museum and National Park.
Open daily 9am-4pm it can be conveniently reached by
funicular railway roundtrip B40. Once at the top entrance
to the Museum is B30 for foreigners and B10 for Thais.
It is an excellent half-day excursion and takes a couple
of hours to walk the path linking the three peaks. The
views are spectacular.
