Chatchawan Wiang Chai, Phra Nakhon Khiri National Park - Further Information

Phra Nakhon Khiri 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 palace was built as a summer residence by King Maha Mongkut (the King of "The King and I") and was completed in 1860.

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 of Chatchawan Wiang Chai, now a museum. The central peak is a large chedi named Phra That Chom Phet. The eastern peak houses the Wat Phra Kaeo, the royal temple.
