The Phra Nakhon Khiri Palace in PhetchaburiRoyal Palaces
The main tourist attractions in Phetchaburi, however, are it’s 2 royal palaces. The most famous of these is the Phra Nakhon Khiri Palace. The Phra Nakhon Khiri Palace is spread out over 3 hills near the centre of the town and offers views across the largely flat surrounding countryside. Completed in 1860, the Phra Nakhon Khiri Palace was a favourite holiday home of King Rama IV. King Rama IV was noted for his interest in Western science and technology and the palace includes an observatory.
The other palace in Phetchaburi, Phra Ram Ratchaniwet Palace, was completed some years later in 1916. The Phra Ram Ratchaniwet Palace was never actually used as a royal residence. King Rama V, who commissioned the construction of the palace, died before it was completed. The Phra Ram Ratchaniwet Palace is unqiue amongst Thai palaces in that the design is distinctively German. The palace was modelled on the Palace of Kaiser Wilhelm and a German architect was hired to draft the plans. The bedroom and bathroom intended for use by the King have been carefully preserved and offer an insight into how the Thai Royal Family lived in the early 20th Century.
