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.
