Phetchaburi: A City of History

Phetchaburi, often called the “City of Three Palaces,” is a captivating blend of history, art, and local life. Walking through the city, I was struck by its rich cultural heritage, from the majestic Phra Nakhon Khiri (Khao Wang) palace perched on a hilltop to the stunning Wat Mahathat Worawihan with its iconic prang. The city’s unique charm lies in its timeless atmosphere—traditional markets bustling with life, intricate stucco work on ancient temples, and the aroma of local desserts like Khanom Mor Kaeng filling the air. What impressed me most about Phetchaburi was its ability to balance the old and the new. It’s a place where history is not just preserved but lived, making every moment there feel like a journey into Thailand’s soul. #travel #thingstodo #couplestrip #thailand
