Phra Nakhon Khiri

The ideal time to explore Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park is from November to February. During these cooler months, the weather is more comfortable for walking around and taking in the sights.

Traveling to Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park from Bangkok is quite convenient. You can take a train or bus to Phetchaburi, and from there, a tuk-tuk or taxi will get you to the base of Khao Wang. For a smooth ride to the top, consider taking the funicular.

Make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes as there's a lot of ground to cover. Bring water, sunscreen, and a hat to stay hydrated and protected from the sun. Dress modestly to respect the cultural sites, covering your knees and shoulders.

The park is open daily from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. To avoid the heat and crowds, it's best to visit early in the morning.

Phetchaburi is about 1.5 hours south of Bangkok and 1 hour north of Hua Hin. You can catch a bus or mini-bus from Bangkok’s southern bus terminal or the Victory Monument area, as well as from Hua Hin and Cha Am.

Yes, be sure to cover your knees and shoulders and respect the no photography signs inside the main museum. Prepare for a lot of walking, especially if you opt not to take the cable car. Also, be cautious of monkeys and watch your step on steep and slippery paths.

You can take a cable car for 40 Baht round trip, which is a convenient way to reach the top. If you prefer walking, be prepared for the heat and keep an eye out for cheeky monkeys.

The park is open daily from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Your admission ticket includes access to the museum located at the Western peak.
