Because historical sightseeing packages are pretty popular in Petchaburi, a lot of culture and history buffs go there. So if you're one of them, this is perfect for you. The great thing about these tours is they usually have land transfer arrangements. You can be picked up from your hotel at Cha-Am or Hua Hin and be brought to Petchaburi in a private air-conditioned vehicle.

One of the places you should visit in Petchaburi is the temple of Wat Maha Dhat. Located near a river, it is said to house some of Buddha's relics. It is believed that this temple is dated as far back as the 12th century and contains paintings that illustrate Buddha's life. In fact, kudos to the Buddhist monks for being able to maintain an important piece of history.

Why don't you also swing by Khao Wang or Palace Hill, the famed summer getaway of King Rama IV? To get there, you have to travel by cable car. On the way, you can see buildings that combine Chinese and Western architectural styles. You can also get a good glimpse of the whole city.

Tours are often not complete without stopping by at the Khao Luang Cave. Here, the main interest is a huge statue of Buddha, towering about 80 feet from the ground and housed in a cavern of limestone. Many of the images, numbering to almost 170, was built by King Mongkut who often used the caves and temples for meditation and studying.

Among the many packages offered by Petchaburi tours is also a food tour of the city's everyday market. You will get to see Thailand's authentic food ingredients, sample sumptuous dishes, and also exotic fruits which you can bring along while wandering the streets of this town.

More than this, there is also a tour for bird lovers since Thailand is a haven for exotic species. It's a great thrill to discover Thailand's exotic birds like the Common Pintail Snipe, Greater Painted Snipe, Red Necked Stint and many more. Usually, they can be seen in their saltwater homes or even along the shores of the Petchaburi area. Thinking about going to amazing Thailand?
