Phetchabun, Province in northern Thailand
Phetchabun province spans 12,340 square kilometers between mountain ranges, featuring the Pa Sak River valley and extensive agricultural areas with cabbage plantations.
The province emerged from the influence of two kingdoms, Sukhothai and Ayutthaya, developing into a significant agricultural center due to its fertile valleys.
The provincial seal displays a diamond on a mountain with tobacco plants, while the local motto celebrates sweet tamarinds and natural landmarks.
Four national parks within the province offer extensive hiking trails, camping facilities, and wildlife observation points connected by Route 21.
The province contains a rare species of freshwater jellyfish, Craspedacusta sowerbyi, which inhabits its water bodies as the official provincial aquatic animal.
