Phra Nakhon Khiri Palace - Petchaburi

Monday visited Phra Nakhon Khiri Palace in Petchaburi.

Palace used by Rama IV and Rama V. Nice evidently displayed dual pricing. THB 70/THB 200. Palace at top of hill. Cable car to top of hill. Palace is now a museum.

This place is definitely on a Do Miss list. The palace at the top of the hill is now a museum with well maintained old furniture. No photos allowed and lots of staff monitoring each and every room. Arrows on the floor that you must follow – very weird staff monitoring visitors all of a dozen or so. No pictures and follow the arrows.

Other than the inside of the palace the area is poorly maintained. Place needs paint and really needs a litter cleanup crew.

Do not bother attending. More monkeys, seems Phetchaburi has no lack of the dirty thieving creatures.

Those monkeys across a range of sites are a right pain, i'd love to get a small rifle with silencer and spend a day of two taking some out - vermin in much the same way i view pigeons.

Far worse than the dirty pigeons, pigeons don't bite. Beware of Monkey scare signs showing several monkey bites on humans. They've got an impressive set of choppers and do serious damage when they bite. Real problem is any bite or scratch is a potential carrier of rabies. The damn monkeys are thieving bastards and steal anything they can hoping there is food inside.

I'm am still mentally scarred from my Khao Takiap pasty raping ordeal 6 years ago :)
