The 37th annual Phra Nakhon Khiri-Petchaburi City event, taking place from March 14th to 23rd, 2024, invites visitors to embark on a journey of discovery and celebration at “Phra Nakhon Khiri: A Tribute to Great Kings and a Wonderland of World Heritage.”

 

This esteemed tradition of Petchaburi Province, now in its 37th year, is set to be held in the scenic Phra Nakhon Khiri (Khao Wang) area, Chalerm Phrakiat Park, in honor of King Mongkut (Rama IV), and its surroundings. The event serves as a heartfelt homage to King Mongkut (Rama IV), King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), King Vajiravudh (Rama VI), and King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) for their significant contributions to Petchaburi Province, while also promoting local tourism.

 

The festivities kick off on Thursday, March 14, 2023, at 6:00 PM, with an opening ceremony featuring “Phra Nakhon Khiri: A Tribute to Great Kings and a Wonderland of World Heritage,” a special performance by Rajabhat University Phetchaburi, alongside the presentation of awards for the procession.

 

Highlights include an exhibition on the World Heritage Site of Kaeng Krachan National Park, offering visitors the chance to learn about the history and significance of Thailand’s sixth World Heritage Site and its third natural heritage site. Additionally, tree saplings will be distributed at Phra Nakhon Khiri (Khao Wang).
