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.
