Situated right in the heart
of the country some 346 kilometres from
Bangkok, Phetchabun borders on three regions,
the North, the Central and the Northeast.
The central part of the province is on the
Pa Sak river basin with mountain ranges
running along both the western and eastern
sectors. Because of the fertility of the
land, Phetchabun has always been an agriculturally
productive area. The very name of the province
actually means the land of crops and foods.
Today, Phetchabun is a province with
rich tourism potential. Its climate is
pleasant due to the mountainous and forested
areas and it has a history of richness
and prosperity for more than 1,400 years.
As and Sukhothai styles have been discovered.
Phetchabun is administratively divided
into the following districts: Muang, Lom
Sak, Lom Kao, Chon Daen, Nong Phai, Wichian
