Phetchabun

Brought over from the ancient town of Si Thep and is considered the oldest such structure in Thailand.

Houses a number of ancient chedis of Sukhothai style.

Features a Buddha statue called Phra Buddha Mahadhamaracha cast in the ornamental Lopburi-style. The ritual bathing of the Buddha image or the traditional Um Phra Dam Nam ceremony is held during September each year.

Created by the dam constructed to block the waterway to the west of town for irrigation purposes. It is a pleasant place for recreation and picnic with scenic natural views in the background, particularly in the morning and late afternoon.

Has a huge waterfall fed by streams flowing down cracks and crevices of the mountains creating a beautiful 12-level fall. On both sides of the trails leading up to it are large, shady trees providing pleasant surroundings.

Every October, there is a boat race on the canals through the village of Lom Khao. The boats are about 40m long, colourfully painted, canoe-like boats with a 12 person crew. The event lasts for 5 days.

An ancient tradition of Phetchabun villagers. They believe this tradition is the way to beseech the gods and to make merit with them. It is held annually at the end of Buddhist Lent around Por Kun Pah Maung Monument to promote the honour of Por Kun Pah Maung. In this celebration, there are many activities, for instance, the drum contest and the beauty contest. Colour fills its streets and floating lanterns the sky.

Sweet tamarind is an important cash crop in this province, and a symbol of Phetchabun. This agricultural fair is held to celebrate the harvest of this fruit on 17–25 January. Farmers sell sweet tamarind straight from their farm at the provincial athletic field where contests, entertainment, and other agricultural exhibitions are also held.
