Khao Wang (Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park) - Khao Wang or Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park is a notable tourist site in Petchaburi Province; it is the symbol of the province. Khao Wang is very outstanding and obviously be seen from a far distance, including the white chedi and buildings. Khao Wang is the ancient remains of Petchaburi Province which are located on the 92-meter-high mountain.
We will take the Cable Car to go to the Top of the Mountain. - Wat Mahathat Worawihan - Centrally located, gleaming white Wat Mahathat is one impressive temple. The showpiece is a 42m-tall five-tiered Ayuthaya-style prang (corn-cob shaped stupa) decorated in stucco relief, a specialty of Phetchaburi’s local artisans you’ll see all over town. Inside the wí·hāhn (sanctuary) that fronts it are important, though highly damaged, early-20th-century murals.
- Tham Khao Luang Cave - About 4km north of town is Khao Luang Cave, a dramatic stalactite-stuffed cavern that’s one of Thailand’s most impressive cave shrines, and a favorite of King Rama IV when he was a monk. Accessed via steep stairs, it’s lit by a heavenly glow every morning (clouds permitting) when sunbeams filter in through the natural skylight.

A worthwhile excursion - A very pleasant trip. Well organised. Nice minibus and an excellent guide who spoke good English. A great way to explore somewhere a bit different to Hua Hi. Highly recommended.

Fun 1/2 - Great 1/2 day excursion. Comfortable mini bus with cold AC. Picked up from the property we were staying in a timely manner. Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. The cave was mystical. Good idea to wear slip resistant shoes while on this part of the tour. A good many steps and slippery rocks. Nothing too crazy, but you needed to watch where you were stepping. The castle was like stepping back in time. The lunch was authentic, fresh, and delicious

Start to finish tour of highlights - Kate our guide was amazing from the start of the tour. We were picked up on time and set off on the tour. Although it was quite humid, the pace of the tour was perfect. Our guide Kate was informative about the things on the tour and was the perfect guide.... information interspersed with conversation. When parts of the tour were challenging to negotiate, the tour was slowed down, but there was always a chat going on about the tour or life in general. The lunch that was provided was delicious and simple. Even though the tour finished up early, we felt that we had received vale for money in that we were the only 2 on the tour and were treated with respect. Great tour and highly recommend!

Informative and enjoyable small group trip - The trip was really well organised and very good value. The air-conditioned minibus was very comfortable and arrived at the chosen pickup point on time. We were a small group of 5 and were looked after very well by our friendly and knowledgeable guide Pom. The temples and the cave particularly were quite spectacular and we were allowed enty of time to walk around and take photos. The lunch stop was good Thai food and they catered for my vegetarian diet very well. Overall a good experience and highly recommended.

Buddha's light shines everywhere - The cave is so big, and the Buddha statues inside are very solemn. The light that enters at different times makes the scenery inside constantly changing. It is very amazing and worth a visit, Amitabha!

Good overview of the area - Good tour guides with lots of knowledge of the area and history. Just be prepared for a lot of stairs and climbing. Take extra water with you. Right length of time and a lovely lunch to end the tour.
