Petchaboon means the land of crops and foods because of the fertility of
the land. 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.
Located 346 kilometers north of Bangkok, the pleasant weather and fertile
alluvial soil of Petchaboon contributes to the nationally acclaimed sweet
tamarind products.
The intricate mountain ranges and impressive water falls as featured in Nam
Nao National Park make the province a dream destination for nature lovers, and
this beautiful province was once conceived as a new capital after Bangkok as
well.
A great place to discover the abundant beauty of the area is at the Nam Nao
National Park. This enormous conservation park is full of forests, grasslands
and virgin jungles. Nam Nao Park offers visitors the opportunity to learn about
plants, wild animals and outdoor activities through trekking and bird watching.
More than 100 species of birds have made their home in Nam Nao Park, and it is
also a good place to see the famous fog that gathers in the region during cool
weather. |
