Phetchaburi

Phetchaburi Province extends from the Gulf of Thailand coastline to the Tanaosri mountain range along the Myanmar border, covering 15,064 square kilometers.

The province gained prominence during the Ratanakosin period when three Thai kings established their seasonal palaces here between the 19th and 20th centuries.

Local craftsmen in Phetchaburi maintain traditional salt production methods across 9,800 rai of land, contributing substantially to Thailand's salt manufacturing industry.

The province includes eight districts with diverse landscapes, from Kaeng Krachan National Park to coastal areas, all accessible via major highways from Bangkok.

Ban Lat District produces palm sugar from extensive sugar palm tree plantations, leading to Phetchaburi's recognition as Thailand's center of traditional dessert making.
