Phra Nakhon Khiri Festival

The 38th Phra Nakhon Khiri Festival is currently underway in Phetchaburi, Thailand, from February 21 to March 2, 2025, under the theme "Wiman Fah Phra Nakhon Khiri: The Jewel of Siam".

This annual event features cultural displays, local food, and vibrant fireworks, offering visitors a chance to experience the rich heritage and culinary delights of Phetchaburi.

During the festival the Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park is open to the public for free. Normally it’s 200 Baht per person to visit.

Phetchaburis well-known landmark, the locally known as Khao Wang (Palace Hill) is located up on a 92-meter high verdant hill, in the city of Phetchaburi.

It was built under the royal command of King Rama IV and in 1860 became his summer palace. The whole compound is comprised of royal halls, palaces, temples and other buildings which were elegantly constructed in a well-balanced Thai, neoclassical Western and Chinese architectural styles.

The east side is situated by important temples for the royal family. The highest peak is home of Wat PhraKaew that was meant to be as important as Wat PhraKaew at The Grand Palace in Bangkok.

The central peak is where Phra That JomPetch situates. The 40-meters-tall white pagoda is installed the Buddha's relics. It is believed if visitors worship the pagoda with the purest mind, they will be known widely like the 360 degree views on the top.

The old palaces on the west have been transformed into museums displayed royal amenities which were used by the King Rama IV and the King Rama V.

The festival is well worth a visit and a great night out.
