Mueang Phetchabun, Administrative district in Phetchabun Province, Thailand.
Mueang Phetchabun covers 2,281 square kilometers of terrain near the Pa Sak River, with numerous villages spread across 17 administrative subdistricts.
The district emerged as a frontier settlement during the Sukhothai period, when Prince Damrong Rajanubhab constructed fortifications along the Pa Sak River.
The district contains multiple Buddhist temples, including Wat Mahathat, which functions as the central religious structure of the old city district.
The district maintains three municipal areas, including one main town and two townships, with additional territories managed by 18 local administrative organizations.
In 1943, this district was proposed as Thailand's new capital under the name Nakhonban Phetchabun, but parliament rejected the initiative.
