Khao Wang Palace is located on a hill in the city of Phetchaburi. King Rama IV of Thailand loved the spirit and beauty of the hills here, so he built the palace on the top of the mountain and named it "Phanakon Kiri" ( PhraNakhonKhiri), which means "city in the mountains", has been changed to the National Phra Nakhon Khiri Museum. King Rama IV of Thailand is the prototype of the heroic and majestic king in the movie "Anna and the King", and the Khao Wang Palace is naturally the prototype of the king's palace in the movie. Taking the cable car to the Khao Wang Palace on the top of the mountain, you can not only feel the spirit of the "city in the mountain", but also overlook the elegant urban landscape below the mountain.

This is one of the residences of King Rama IV. You need to buy a ticket to enter and take a short mountain rail car. The entire residence area is divided into three parts. The distance is not far. The architectural style shows that the king was influenced by Western culture at that time. If the weather is not hot, there are many places to take pictures. After a circle, take the rail car back to the starting point. If you pass by here, you may want to come in and visit.

The hilltop palace in Thailand
Phanakorn Siri Historical Park, located at the commanding height of Kao Wang Mountain in Phetchaburi city, was built under the supervision of Rama IV in the mid-19th century and used as a royal palace.
The palace and building complex blend elements of European, Thai and Chinese architecture and decoration. In the exhibits of the palace museum, one can clearly feel King Rama IV's admiration for Western life, with the majority of daily necessities being of Western style (even including a complete set of bathtub and matching equipment).
The entrance fee for the scenic area is 150 baht per person. There are two entrances, the east entrance is for walking up the mountain, and the west entrance is for the cable car (50 baht round trip). The mountain trail is well maintained, although slightly steep, but it only takes about ten minutes to climb up. After all, the highest peak in this city is less than 60 meters in relative height. Apart from the exhibits inside the palace museum, other areas are free for photography. Although there are signs all over the scenic area reminding tourists to be aware of monkeys, they mostly gather in the two entrance areas to find food. There are very few monkeys in the mountain area, and the hot weather in Thailand makes the monkeys seem rather lazy.

Khao Wang Phetchaburi
If we talk about tourist attractions in Phetchaburi that no one can miss, that place is Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park (Khao Wang). An ancient historical site of Phetchaburi, this place is a summer palace built during the reign of King Rama IV. It is located on top of three large peaks. I recommend that everyone who visits Phetchaburi stop here because you will get to see Phetchaburi in 360 degrees. For those who can't walk up the hill, you can park your car in front and buy a ticket for the tram up the stairs. However, there are quite a few monkeys here, so you have to be careful.

Romantic city in the mountains-Khaowang Palace
Khao Wang Palace is a famous attraction located in Cha Am, Hua Hin. It was built in 1979 by King Rama IV. It is a palace used by the royal family to escape the summer heat.
In the palace scene in the movie "Anna and the King", in addition to the Grand Palace in Bangkok, there is also a royal palace called the Roasted Wang Palace.
Khao Wang means "palace-like hill" in Thai. The entire complex was formerly known as the "City on the Mountain" and is today known as the "Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park". The environment in the park is very quiet, and you can overlook the beautiful field scenery from the top. The buildings in the park have a sense of age, and the white walls that have been baptized by the years have a mottled beauty when photographed.
It takes at least 2 hours to walk and visit the entire park. You can take a cable car up from the parking lot, so it is a relaxing and comfortable attraction, and you can bring your elders.

About the source of the palace, it is said that Rama IV went to Khao Wang Mountain in a trip, and felt that the roasting mountain was very aura and the scenery was beautiful, so in 1860, the people were built here. Thailand's first summer palace. The
The Royal Palace is located on the top of Khao Wang. It is a subtle blend of Thai architecture and Chinese architecture in the mid-19th century. The entire exterior exudes an ancient literary atmosphere. It is also the location of the film "Anna and the King".
There are all kinds of frangipani in the palace of Tongwang. It can be seen that it is very old and has a sense of sensation of the wind. They have different postures and are connected into a lush forest. It is also a highlight in the palace. .
Swim in the frangipani bush, feeling the long history here, the building with time blessing, always looks different, there are many temperatures, every place is enough to give you a look, See the past that has passed.

Because "Anna and the King" went. The former royal palace was converted into a museum. Tickets are 150 baht and the cable car is 50 baht, which is a relatively high-priced attraction in Thailand. No palatial, mottled white nostalgic and fresh. The bougainvillea on both sides of the cable car is in full bloom, and the reflection in the blue lotus tank is beautiful. The interior of the museum is also relatively simple and can't be photographed.

The current Khao Wang Palace was transformed into the National Panam Khili Museum, which basically kept the display equipment at that time. The visits here also have requirements for clothing. Shorts are not allowed. It is quite comfortable to visit these places. Its all about taking off your shoes. Its awesome to walk barefoot on the floor. The interior decoration of the Khao Wang Palace is quite luxurious. Although it looks ordinary now, it is very good to change to the time. After all, this is the place where the king lived. The best thing about the whole palace is his location. On the top of the mountain, Rama IV named it Panakongli, which means the city in the mountains. The sight here is unobstructed and the wind blowing in the mountains is very cool.
There is a temple behind the palace, and there are many Thais visiting here. The temple itself is not surprisingly many, the white appearance, gray-black is the original appearance after the white shell faded, full of historical vicissitudes, the architecture of the law, the interior is the statue of the king. On the other side of the mountain top, there is a viewing platform with a superb view and a view of the surrounding landscape. This mountain is already the highest position in the place. The sights can be seen in a plain. The panoramic view angle is really amazing.
The whole copy of the palace, the favorite is this viewing platform, standing here to see the scenery, the most comfortable, but if you can live here is also quite happy.

Continue on the way to Hua Hin, where you will pass through the Buddhist temple. There is also an attraction here. If you return this attraction to Hua Hin, it will take more than an hour to drive from Hua Hin. It is quite far, so it is straightforward. It will be more convenient when passing by from Bangkok.
Kaiwang Palace, this is also a summer palace in the royal family. There are many summer palaces around Bangkok, and this is the first summer palace. In fact, this area of Hua Hin is a summer resort for the royal family, because it is close The seaside has always been the existence of a royal holy place, so Hua Hin itself is a place full of aristocratic atmosphere. The Khao Wang Palace is located on the top of the mountain. You can choose to walk up the mountain or choose the cable car to go up the mountain. It is not too high, but the cable car is also a fun experience.
There are a lot of monkeys on the mountain. Be careful not to look directly at them. If you look at them, they will think that you have any intentions and may attack you. Really, there are really many monkeys on the hills of Thailand. It's not just here, don't provoke them easily, don't take food up the mountain, don't end up going badly, and meet monkeys on the road. The best way is to ignore them and go straight.
Kaiwang Palace may still be familiar to the Chinese people, because there is a film from Chow Yun-fat that was filmed here, "Anna and the King", telling the story between Rama IV and the British female teacher. This Khao Wang Palace was built by Rama IV.

The purity of white is to describe Hua Hins royal palace, which is perfect. It is best known for the palace of torture and the palace of love and hope. Khao Wang Palace is the palace of King Rama IV. It is built on the foothills of the mountain. It is also known as the city in the mountains. It is a cable car that climbs to the top of the mountain.
