| Situated right in the heart of the
country some 346 kilometres from Bangkok, Phetchabun 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, Phetchabun has always been an agriculturally productive area.
The very name of the province actually means the land of crops and
foods.
Today, Phetchabun 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. Phetchabun
is administratively divided into the following districts: Muang,
Lom Sak, Lom Kao, Chon Daen, Nong Phai, Wichian Buri, Si Thep, Bung
Sam Phan, Wang Pong, Nam Nao and Khao Kho.
