Trip Description : Petchburi, a charming historic town sitting astride the main road to Southern Thailand, has a number of temples with strong connections to the former capital of Ayuthaya. Some of the best examples of Ayuthaya’s mural paintings can be found here.
However, the glorious palace now a national museum, which sits on a hilltop overlooking
the town, is a breath-taking place to visit. Our tour takes you to one of Thailand’s oldest provinces. It starts with a visit to the Petchburi’s center, where the unmistakable Prang (Khmer-style tower monument) of Wat Mahathat, stands proud and tall. It’s nonetheless stylistically influenced by the Ayuthaya period and its architectural interest belies its comparative lack of years .The towering central Prang rises from the middle of a cloister lined with Buddha images, and is surrounded by smaller Prangs each with a small chapel. From there, we’ll visit a stucco-art-decorated temple.
Then our journey continues to Khao Luang Cave, which houses not less than 170 Buddha Images. At Phara Nakhonkhiri we continue our journey by cable car to the beautiful summer palace of King Rama IV, also the setting of the famous movie “The King and I”. We see the Royal Heritage in the palace museum and admire the spectacular view from the observatory. Then at last, lunch will be taken in Petchburi town before we head back to the Hotel.
