Phetchabun

Phetchabun Province is a province in the lower northern part of Thailand, known for its cool climate, mountainous landscapes, and vast agricultural areas. Often dubbed the "Switzerland of Thailand," it's a popular escape from the heat, especially during the cool season, and is famous for its sweet tamarind, cabbage plantations, and the stunning Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew.

Interesting tourist attractions when visiting Phetchabun include:

• Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew: A breathtaking temple nestled in the mountains of Khao Kho, famous for its unique architecture adorned with colorful mosaic tiles and five overlapping white Buddha statues. It offers stunning panoramic views.
• Phu Thap Boek: The highest peak in Phetchabun, offering spectacular "sea of mist" views, especially during the cool and rainy seasons. It's a popular spot for camping and witnessing sunrises above the clouds.
• Si Thep Historical Park: A UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring the ruins of an ancient Dvaravati and Khmer city, offering a glimpse into Thailand's rich historical past.
• Khao Kho Wind Farm: A scenic area with giant windmills, providing cool breezes and great photo opportunities amidst the mountain scenery.
• Nam Nao National Park: An immense forest area known for its diverse wildlife, beautiful landscapes, and opportunities for trekking and nature exploration.
• Sri Dit Waterfall: A beautiful single-tiered waterfall, easily accessible and a pleasant spot for relaxation amidst nature.

It is easily accessible by bus from Bangkok (approximately 4-5 hours). While Phetchabun has a small airport, it primarily serves charter flights; travelers often fly into Phitsanulok Airport (PHS) and continue by car or bus to Phetchabun.
