Nakhon Phanom, once the center of the ancient Sri Kotrabun Kingdom, lies adjacent to the Mekong River, 735 kms northeast of Bangkok. The area was long settled by ethnic Lao people and belonged to the Lan Xang kingdom even after it came under the control of Ayutthaya. At first it was known as 'Si Kotrabun', and during the times of King Rama I as 'Maruka Nakhon'.

Situated southwest of the Thai capital Bangkok, Phetchaburi is an old royal city, which was occupied bythe ethnic Mon in the 8th century, and later, Khmer settlers. In 1860, King Mongkut (King Rama IV), built a palace near Phetchaburi that became commonly known as 'Khao Wang', although its official name is Phra Nakorn Khiri, meaning 'Holy City Hill'. Located on the three peaks of the 92m-high hill are: the king's summer palace; a chedi with a Buddhist temple; and an astronomical observatory. The site was registered as a historical park in 1979, with two of the palace buildings now housing a branch of the Thai National Museum.
