kilometres from Bangkok, Petchaboon borders on three regions, the
North, the Central and the Northeast. The central part of the province
is on the Pa Sak river basin with mountain ranges running along
both the western and eastern sectors. Because of the fertility of
the land, Petchaboon has always been an agriculturally productive
area. The very name of the province actually means the land of crops
and foods.
Today, Petchaboon is a province with rich tourism potential. 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. As and Sukhothai styles have been discovered.
Petchaboon is administratively divided into the following districts:
Muang, Lom Sak, Lom Kao, Chon Daen, Nong Phai, Wichian Buri, Si
Thep, Bueng Sam Phan, Wang Pong, Nam Nao and Khao Kho.
