  Adventures in Neverland: Rat bags, music and a star!
We spent a few days in Phetburi to give her time to acclimatise to the weather and to marvel at the place I call “home”.
Linda now had one day left of Phetburi, so after a good sleep and getting all packed and ready, we had “sundowners” on the roof with Laura and Jane.
Phetburi is about the old values of Thailand, ordinary life without interruption from “falang” tourists, cheap and family-oriented!!

The beach was exactly like every other beach in the world except for the hordes of obnoxious horse-rental guys and an endless string of vendors hawking such favorites as baked beans on toast and french fries with mayonnaise.
I took a long string of back-country roads and came across such interesting road-side attractions as a giant pineapple and a wat built on top of a huge, land-locked boat.
I was home before 11, but a block-party showing of Batman Begins (in Thai) shook the walls of my apartment til 1, and I was thrilled as usual to get up at 7 and go in to face a room full of screaming 10 year-olds.

 Khao Luang Cave
Phetburi (also spelled Phetchaburi) is one of the hidden gems of Thailand.
Many of the images were placed here by King Mongut (known as Rama IV), who often used the caves and temples of Phetburi for meditation and studying before he ascended the throne.
Well, just keep in mind that it is only about 12 miles north of the beach resort of Cha Am, but that hotels in Phetburi are only about one-third the price of hotels in Cha Am.

Just three hours by bus or train from Bangkok, Phetburi was founded in the eleventh century, but flourished during Ayutthaya’s glorious years, when it served as a trading post between there and Burma.
It became something of a cultural centre, as is evidenced by the Phetburi of today being a great place for wat freaks.
A number of golden buddhas are kept inside, and in the late afternoon (precisely when depends on the time of year) direct sunlight streams through a natural hole in the roof, providing a great opportunity for photos.

 Kedah: Thai Influence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
During the 13th century, leaders from a Southern state of Siam at Phetburi moved downwards to the Malay peninsular and took up residence in Malay speaking areas.
Kedah was one of the several lands taken under the 'wing' of the Siamese.
With this, the Malay rulers had some autonomy in which to rule their states but were coerced to supply food, army and send tributes to their overlords.

People from Phetburi are raising fists against the projects since the project is going to create an environmental catastrophe along the coastal Provinces.
95% of people from Phetburi strongly disapproved of the project since it was not transparent at all (it is claimed as a royal project to hide hidden agendas) and the initiators refuse to listen to local people.

This 3000 sq km park is Thailand’s largest, covering nearly half of Phetburi Province.
