Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park

Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park, also known as Khao Wang, crowns a hill in Phetchaburi Province near Khao Yoi. Built in the 19th century as King Mongkut’s summer palace, it blends Thai, neoclassical, and Chinese design in a striking hilltop complex of palaces, temples, and museums. Visitors come for its royal history, elegant architecture, and wide views over the surrounding town and countryside. It is a good choice for travelers interested in culture, photography, and a quieter alternative to Thailand’s busier heritage sites.
