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.

Great small group tour! - Wonderful experience! Our tour group was nice and small, 3 couples and we were all from Canada which was great! Worra, our guide was excellent. Very informative! The time spent at each location was good and our stop for lunch on the way back to the hotel was delicious. We are vegetarian - they had prepared some lovely dishes with tofu! The cave was the main reason I wanted to check this out and it did not disappoint.

Wora was our guide and... - Wora was our guide and was wonderful and very knowledgeable about all the locations we visited. The location where we had lunch was delicious (and not too spicy). All in all a great experience. Love to Wora she did a great job.

Great DayExploring. - Pick up was prompt from the hotel. Naree, our guide, was very informative, easy to understand and a joy to be around. The summer palace was interesting, especially the scenery around it. The stop at Wat Mahathat was good and we were able to make offerings. The icing on the cake was Khao Luang Cave! Lunch, following, was really tasty. The people in our group really made the day special!!

Great tour of Patchaburi! - Great tour with a small group. Very interesting and informative trip. Temple and palace were beautiful, but the cave was amazing. Tough hike in and out, but do-able. Stairs were just pretty steep. The lunch was great, very tasty. The guide did a wonderful job of describing everything we were seeing. Highly recommend this tour.

Nice day trip - Very nice day trip. Well organized and our guide was very informative. With bad knees, the steps out of the cave were very difficult for me, but otherwise a nice experience for seniors like myself.

A Royal experience. - A good trip that covered 3 different sites all with their own unique characteristics. We went to a Temple, a cave system and the Kings royal summer palace. The tour guide was great and provided lots of background on the various sites and items we came across. I would happily recommend this tour.

Unique location - It is a serious climb that you should certainly not underestimate in hot weather but really worth it. We took a boat to the beach but walking 1km is also perfect, I think.

Poor customer service!!! - I tried to book this excursion but got no confirmation and it didnt appear in my bookings , so I made alternative plans. Less than 24hrs before the tour operator called to confirm obviously I couldn't go because I'd made other plans. They had tried to email me but this had failed because I had a postmaster notice sometime later telling me so, they would have got one at the time. The tour operator and trip advisor wont refund me as it was less than 24 hours the trip time. Talk about poor customer service.
