Petchaburi
Palace and Thai Farm
A one hour-ride leads you to Petchaburi,
60 km north of Hua Hin. This busy
commercial center is famous for
its great many temples (the mining
of diamonds= petch=however finished
long ago).
First you go to the Wang hill near
to the city. On the hilltop you
visit an old summer-palace of King
Rama 4th and the scenic park. After
that you head for the famous Mahatat
temple in Petchaburi, a remarkable
monument of the centuries old Khmer
architecture, an important spiritual
center of Buddhism in Thailand till
today. In front of the temple you
can admire traditional Thai dances,
too.
The next destination is Khao Luang
(royal mountain), situated about
4 km outside the city. There you
enter an extended natural cave.
Its several cavern are filled with
rows of buddha-images including
a remarkable large reclining statue.

when the sunlight floods into the
dome-shaped central cave. Another
15 minutes ride passes through rustic
villages and bright green paddy
fields. Finally you reach a large
coconut plantation and new tourist
territory. Inside this ‘jungle
like plantation lives a German expatriate
and raises fish with his Thai family.
You have lunch on the verandah of
a wooden Thai-house. After lunch
a short boat-trip starts in front
of the house. The narrow tributary
with its lush tropical vegetation
flows soon afterwards into the wider
Petchaburi-River.
 The
small fishing-boat passes along
old wooden Thai-style-houses, along
orchards, tropical gardens, palm
trees and mangroves. It heads for
the impressive Wat Khao (temple
on the hill). Though famous in Thailand,
its barely explored by western tourists.
The hilltop provides fine views
of the surrounding countryside.
