Let's go to Phetchaburi!!!

My hometown
I was born in Phetchaburi. And my parent lives in this province. Some people call my province is ‘Muang phet’. I live in Amphoe Mung of Phetchaburi. Phetchaburi is located 160 kilometers south of Bangkok. One of Thailands central region provinces.There are three important Maenam in Phetchaburi including "Maenam Phetchaburi with an overall length of 227 kilometers, "Maenam Bang Kloy", with an overall length of 44 kilometers, and "Maenam Bang Tabun", with an overall length of 18 kilometers. My province has festival very years for tourism. Such as ‘Phra Nakhon Khiri Fair’ Phra Nakhon Khiri, also known as Khao Wang, is an important historical site. During the reign of King Rama IV, it served as the king's out-of-town palace. To celebrate Phetchaburi's cultural heritage-particular Phra Nakhon Khiri-the people of Phetchaburi hold the Phra Nakhon Khiri Fair regularly around the end of February at Khao Wang Compound. This festival, tourism always walked up the mountain at night but it has the beautiful lights along the way. Beside the way, there were many monkeys. And some of people always took photo with the monkey. But for me I didn’t like it because it was a greedy when I hold some food and the money run to me. It was very fear. The five-day fair presents a parade of people enacting the procession of monarchs who ruled Phetchaburi; during the Dvaravati and Srivijaya Periods. Apart from that, there are exhibitions on Phetchaburi's history and archaeological objects. Cooking demonstrations on the provinces famous dishes and sweetmeats are among the main attractions of the fair. Also featured are various kinds of entertainment and contests. I like this festival and my friends from Bangkok like to travel this festival.and another festival is ‘Thai Song Dam’, a merit-making at Song Dam Village, Khao Yoi district. Games, entertainment and the authentic cuisine of Thai Song Dam villagers is all on offer. Many villagers wear their traditional costumes a sight rarely seen today. The festival is held annually on April 18.This festival I didn’t to travel but my mother always told me. It is very interesting. And the famous food I want to present are ‘Khao Chae’ (rice served with ice and sweetened meat) is a renowned local dish and is popular during the summer season as it cools you down. Khanomchin Thotman (rice noodles with fishcakes) is also a popular dish. It was very delicious. You must to eatang. !!! ‘Phetchaburi Fruits’ Fruits from every season are found here and the most famous are sweet and aromatic Chom Phu (rose apple), fresh Palm seed, pineapple from Don Khun Huai, cantaloupe and also the well-known gold banana from Amphoe Tha Yanh. My friends from another country like to eat rose apple from my province. They always say it was very sweet and big rose apple. Sometime if I visit my friend or their parent I always bought rose apple for their. And the most famous souvenir of the province is sweets made of tanot (palm) sugar, flour, eggs and coconut cream. In the city and along Highway No. 4 are numerous sweet shops with names starting with the word Mae that are Thai dessert specialists, particularly in Phetchaburi specialty Khanom Mo Kaeng. I think, you always heard this dessert because it was most delicious and very famous of my province. In addition, Thong Yot, Thong Yip, Foi Thong, and Khanom Tan are also popular purchases. Other souvenirs include womens accessories and housewares made of hemp, palm sugar products and a large variety of preserved fruits. I knew my province is very interesting but it not done. There are many places to introduce to tourism. Phetchaburi has many beaches. Such as ‘Cha am beach’ or Hat Cha am. The primer beach resort of Phetchaburi, Hat Cha-am is just as beautiful as the neighboring Hua Hin Beach. Located approximately 163 kilometers south of Bangkok, 40 kilometers south of Phetchaburi and 20 kilometers north of Hua Hin, the beach is famous for being long and clean. In addition, it serves excellent fresh seafood. Originally a fishing village, Cha-am received much attention after the royal palace, Maruekhathaiyawan, was built near Hua Hin in the reign of King Rama VI. At that time, the Royal Family and the elite occupied the land in Hua Hin and its vicinity as a holiday seaside resort. When people started looking around for twin seaside resort town for Hua Hin, Cha-am beauty was discovered and quickly developed. There are many foreigners. When my holiday our family like to rest and relax in this place. Today, Cha-am is a popular lively resort town offering a large variety of accommodations and challenging activities. Boredom is rare in Cha-am as there are a variety of water sports that can be enjoyed, while a possible alternative to water sports is bicycle riding along a 6-kilometer sandy white beach. During the weekdays the beach is virtually deserted and there are beach umbrellas and sling chairs are available for hire. And there are many temple in my province. I think, it about two hundred of temples. But the famous temple is ‘ Wat khao takao’ The temple, which is located at Ban Laem District, 12 kilometers from Phetchaburi City, houses a highly respected sitting Buddha image locally known as "Luang Pho Khao Takhrao". The image was found at the mouth of Maenam Mae Klong in Samut Songkhram Province by Ban Laem villagers, who migrated from Ban Laem to Samut Songkhram during the fall of Ayutthaya in order to move away from the route of the Burmese troops. And ‘ Wat Maha That Voraviharn’ this temple near my house. It was situated by river of phetchaburi in the town centre, the large white pagoda of Wat Maha That, which can be seen from a distance. This temple is a mixture of the late Ayutthaya and early Rattanakosin style with an adaptation of the prang of Lopburi. This five peak prang housing the Lord Buddha’s relics was constructed according to concept of Mahayana Buddhism. The elegantly designed stucco decorated on the viharn and the ubosot is proof to the excellent skill of Phetchaburi's local craftsmanship. I knew, you want to come at my province. My province is very beautiful of places and very delicious of food. And I love my province.
