Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park

Phra Nakhon Khiri (Thai: อุทยานประวัติศาสตร์พระนครคีรี) is a historical park in Phetchaburi, Thailand, located on a hill overlooking the city. The name Phra Nakhon Khiri means Holy City Hill, but locals know it better as Khao Wang, meaning hill with palace.

The park consists of three building groups, located on the three peaks of the 92m high hill. On the western peak is the actual palace with adjoining structures. The middle or central peak is a big chedi named Phra That Chom Phet. The eastern peak houses the Wat Phra Kaeo, the royal temple, built in similar fashion to the Wat Phra Kaeo in Bangkok. The whole complex was built as a summer palace by King Mongkut, with construction finished in 1860.

The site was registered as a historical park on August 27, 1979, with two of the palace buildings now housing a branch of the Thai National Museum.

92-meter-high hill. The hill was made popular by King Mongkut (Rama IV) who loved the area so much he constructed a palace where he could stay during his numerous trips to the area.

Please, just walk up the mountain instead of taking the overly expensive cable car... Just avoid the monkeys!

ต้องเดินเยอะและชันมาก ควรใส่รองเท้าผ้าใบนะ ถ้ามาช่วงเทศกาลแล้วอยากดูพลุ ต้องไปดูตรงที่เป็นวัดอ่ะ ตรงอื่นใกล้พลุเกินไป

เรามักจะพูดเสมอว่าเผยแพร่พระราชประวัติ จึงไม่อาจเข้าใจได้ว่าเหตุใดถึงไม่เปิดโอกาสให้ถ่ายภาพความงดงามภายในได้ .. ถามเจ้าหน้าที่ก็ไม่ได้คำตอบ
