Rent a holiday apartment in Phetchaburi

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Phetchaburi must first decide on the focus of their trip: the coast, the western natural area or the historic provincial capital. Phetchaburi is a diverse province that combines coastal landscapes, flat plains, mountains, nature experiences, history and culinary culture.

Key facts

Landscape: In the east, the province extends to the coast along the Gulf of Thailand; flat plains and mountain landscapes shape the scenery in the west.

Natural area: Kaeng Krachan National Park, with mountain rainforest and the Kaeng Krachan Reservoir, is located in the western or inland part.

City and cuisine: Phetchaburi town is the provincial capital. Khao Wang with Phra Nakhon Khiri shapes its historic character. The city is also known for traditional Thai desserts such as Khanom Mor Gaeng; in 2021, Phetchaburi was recognized as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy.

Which location suits your travel plans?

If you mainly want to experience the sea and coastal towns, focus on the coast. The western area around Kaeng Krachan is the natural counterpart for a nature-focused part of your trip. For this focus, your accommodation search should be geographically oriented towards the western inland area.

If historic sites, temples, Khao Wang and regional sweets are important to you, Phetchaburi town is the province's cultural centre of focus. If you want to place culture and regional cuisine at the heart of your trip, you can focus your accommodation search on the area around the provincial capital.

Phetchaburi is suitable as a regional choice for travellers who want to combine the coast, nature and a focus on urban history. The right accommodation base depends on which of these elements makes up the largest part of your trip. Whether you choose a holiday apartment, holiday home or hotel, the geographical orientation should follow your desired travel plans.
