Phetchaburi
Phetchaburi is a historic province southwest of Bangkok, with caves, hill palaces and temples in the old town and beaches further south around Cha-am. It is an easy stop between Bangkok and Hua Hin.
The old town rewards a half day on foot or by bike, while the coast gives a relaxed seaside break.
