Nice park with Buddha images and interesting stories from some parts of Thailand. There is a big lake behind the main building..
As a tourist, I absolutely love this place and the magnitude of the structure, simply incredible and gives out great positive energy, worth the venture up and please walk around this place, there’s a nice lake behind it and other amenities and places to eat and relax. Great views of Phetchabun township and backdrop of the Thung Salaeng Luang National Park.
A truly serene and inspiring place. The massive Buddha statues are breathtaking, and the surrounding mountains add an extra touch of tranquility. You feel an immediate sense of peace the moment you arrive. A beautiful blend of faith, art, and nature in one unforgettable experience.
My family and I went to Phetchaburi Province and it was awesome. I saw two places: the Phetchabura Buddhist Park and the Phetchaburi Historical Park. The Phetchabura Buddhist Park has a big Buddha statue made of metal. It is 35 meters high and 45 tons heavy. The park also has a nice lake, a bridge, and a museum about Buddhism in Thailand. The Phetchaburi Historical Park is on a hill and has a palace, a temple, and a tower. The palace is very beautiful and has different styles of architecture. The temple looks like the one in Bangkok with the Emerald Buddha. The tower has a good view of the city and the nature. I also ate some food from Phetchaburi, which is very tasty. I had the khao chae, which is rice with cold water and ice and some other things. I also had the khanom mor gaeng, which is a sweet thing made of eggs, coconut milk, and sugar. I think Phetchaburi Province is a great place to visit if you like history, culture, nature, and food. It has a lot of things to see and learn and enjoy.
Just a huge Buddha statue along the main road. Big park just beside and behind. Areas were clean and with ample parking spaces.
Some of the nicest people you will meet seem to be in Phetchabun. The park is clean and quiet and the Cambodian style Buddha image is impressive. There is a basic museum style display under the main feature. Don't miss the short walk to the right where the OTOP stores are you will enjoy the cheapest and nicest smoothies and Thai food that I found in 30+ days in Thailand
18th Mar 2019. Impressive statue with temple underneath. Car park, toilets, well maintained, walk areas, lake with island, some food shops and places to sit and eat. The lake has fish feeding, and the island is a perfect meditation area.
Beautiful spot for quiet reflection- great for kids - the fish in the lake are fun to feed!

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere is suitable for sitting and watching the sunset in the evening. Selling cold drinks, so come sit and drink, you'll feel very chill. (Original) บรรยากาศเหมาะกับการมานั่งชมพระอาทิตย์ตกดินตอนเย็นๆ ขายเครื่องดื่มเย็นๆมานั่งดื่มจะชิวมากเลย
(Translated by Google) Much quieter than before. After canceling the sale of food inside But the cleanliness and roads need to be improved. The points given are purely from behind the basin. (Original) เงียบสงบกว่าเดิมเยอะ​ หลังจากยกเลิกให้มีการขายอาหารด้านใน​ แต่ความสะอาดและถนนต้องปรับปรุง​ คะแนนที่ให้​ มาจากหลังอ่างล้วนๆ
(Translated by Google) We went on 07/09/68. The water wasn't that high, but it had just rained so the water was a bit red. The sunset in the evening should be even more beautiful. (Original) เราไปเมื่อ07/09/68น้ำไม่ได้เยอะเท่าไหร่ แต่ฝนเพิ่งตกน้ำก้จะแดงๆนิดนึง ตอนเย็น พระอาทิตย์ตก น่าจะสวยกว่านี้
(Translated by Google) The road on the dam should be improved. The route to go to see the reservoir is not very convenient. (Original) ถนนบนสันเขื่อนควรปรับปรุง เส้นทางที่จะเข้าไปชมอ่างไม่ค่อยสะดวก

Tranquil, picturesque park featuring rugged mountain terrain along with streams & waterfalls.
Slide 1 of 8
This national park is lacking in public relations. The waterfall is hidden 2.2 km. away from the entrance. However, to get there, you need to be prepared. You need good trekking shoes. Slippery shoes are not suitable as you need to walk across the creek for 19 times and climb up and down a lot. It will take about 2 hours to go up and another 2 hours to come down the same way so prepare for drinking water and some snacks or lunch. Luckily, it will be worth it. The trail is fulfilling. It is beautiful and tranquil. You will be happy even if you don't make it to the top as the journey is already beautiful.
Beautiful nature. The waterfall is a treat. However to get there is a trek. I would say the hike is medium+. What makes it more challenging is that you have to cross the river many times in zig zag in order to ascend. Also passing rocky areas. Even though there's a lot of water involved, wearing proper hiking shoes with a good sole grip is the best. Even if the get wet. As there's a lot of sharp rocks and wearing flip flops would not be protective for your toes and feet. If not having hiking shoes, at best use Crocs shoes with toe coverage and a band in the heal so the foot doesn't slip. There's also 2 waterfalls near each other one is lower both in altitude and the height of the waterfall, and the other one is much higher up to reach it. We went to the higher up. For this one the hike is trickier. For sure this is not a hike to go with small kids (unless you are very experienced) or for persons with some physical challenges as it can be strenuous. It took us about 1.5 hours to go up, at a decent speed. Do also give yourself plenty of time, meaning don't go up if it's already mid afternoon as it would get dark and can easily get lost. The paths are not very clear. And the forest is in its own rather dark with lots of shade. If it's already 2 or 3 pm might be best not to go all the way to the waterfalls.
I had the nicest experience at Tat Mok. I turned up late in the day by bicycle, couldn't manage the hill after a long day of cycling. But the staff here went far beyond to help me camp at the park, personally driving me to the top with my bike and gear. They really genuinely wanted me to experience the beauty of Tat Mok and it didn't disappoint. The most genuine and kind souls I have come accross on my travels. Special thanks to KunSak and KunJack. This is a must visit site for campers in Petchabun. Such great views, I'd give a 6 out of 5 if I could!
A beautiful hidden gem of a beautiful waterfall and really fun walking trails. The Song Nang waterfall trail is 2km in and 2km out. However it will take longer to go up through a steep trail to reach Tat Mok waterfall. It was 8.8km in total from the start of the trail at the carpark up to Tat Mok waterfall then down to Song Nang waterfall then back to the carpark. About 3 hours including lunch break for us. I definitely recommend visiting this waterfall if you enjoy hiking.
Despite having access to only half the route, we were properly impressed with the views here. There’s also a campground called ลานชมดาว where one can pitch tents or rent tents and bedding from the National Park Service folks there. Unsure whether overnight privileges are limited to Thais, best to check ahead.
Great great great place! Wonder why there is not much visitor!!! The place is stunning! Quiet, well organized. There is no phone signal but who cares! Entrance fee 100 baht 30 for the car, camping 30 b per person. Dreams are beautiful as the sky at night!
Beautiful nature...still exists. Please help keep it like this forever. generations The weather is great, the view is beautiful. No boredom
Bring your water with you, don’t be me. Little bit of a drive to get there but a 2.5 km fun trail with a nice waterfall at the end.

It’s quiet sometimes, and you’ll see young monks around the temples.
A nice place with several buildings, over a relatively large area. Adorned with decorations out in the center of the temple, around the most important things. Few people early in the morning, with a relaxed atmosphere.
Not much to visit but just come here for your prayers
Very impressive. Well maintained.
Nice with historical story
(Translated by Google) Wat Mahathat has a Sukhothai style Khao Bin bush-shaped pagoda, approximately 4 sq m high. It is assumed that this temple was built since the Sukhothai period. You can stop by and visit. (Original) วัดมหาธาตุมีพระเจดีย์ทรงพุ่มข้าวบิณฑ์แบบสุโขทัย สูงประมาณ 4 วาเศษ สันนิษฐานว่าวัดนี้คงสร้างมาตั้งแต่สมัยสุโขทัย แวะเยี่ยมชมกันได้
(Translated by Google) This place is a monks' school. There aren't many places to visit within the area. Most are closed. The areas around the temples are green and have animal carvings carved into the bushes. The historic temple is neglected and trees are starting to grow on it. You can stop by while passing through, but don't expect any special attractions. (Original) Miejsce to jest szkołą mnichów. Na terenie nie mamy dużo miejsc do zwiedzania. Większość jest zamknięta. Tereny w koło świątyń są zielone oraz mają rzeźbione w krzewach kształty zwierząt. Zabytkowa świątynia jest niezadbana i zaczynają wyrastać na niej drzewa. Można zatrzymać się przejazdem ale nie ma co liczyć na specjalne atrakcje.
(Translated by Google) "Wat Mahathat" is considered an important temple in Phetchabun Province because Wat Mahathat is a third-class royal temple and, most importantly, it houses a sacred Buddha image that has been a symbol of Phetchabun since its construction. (Original) "วัดมหาธาตุ" ถือว่าเป็นวัดสำคัญของจังหวัดเพชรบูรณ์เนื่องจากวัดมหาธาตุเป็นพระอารามหลวงชั้นตรีและที่สำคัญมากจริง ๆ คือมีองค์พระพุทธรูปศักดิ์สิทธิ์ประดิษฐานคู่บ้านคู่เมืองเพชรบูรณ์มาตั้งแต่จัดสร้างวัดนี้

My wife asked a long time ago to provide her with a good husband who would take good care of her and her family. She promised to come back with 9 pig heads, 9 chicken, 9 different sorts of fruit, soda and some alcohol if her wish was granted. So here she goes back as promised. I wasn't allowed to pay for anything with this ritual.
Nice place to pay respect for the founding of the city. Has a nice mix of Thai and China influence.
City pillar of Phetchabun town. The original pillar is believed to be from Sri-Thep & over 1000 years old.
I visit this place for the first time yesterday and local peoples have lots of faith and believe in this place I really like
