Phetchabun province was once the capital city of Thailand under the previous government led by Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram.
As Prime Minister, he developed Phetchabun with most orders issued by the Prime Minister's Office, starting in 1943. A metropolitan plan for Phetchabun was created, with the Department of Municipal Engineering designing a master plan including a main city plan and satellite towns. However, the Metropolitan Administration Act of Phetchabun B.E. 2485 (1942) was not approved by the House of Representatives, causing the act to be discarded.
Few people know that Phetchabun province was once the capital city of Thailand. Today, Phetchabun offers nationally famous tourist attractions such as Nam Nao, Nam Khek rafting, and the Hmong village of Ban Khek Noi. Besides these out-of-town attractions, the city of Phetchabun has temples, a central pond, and delicious food like Je Som's noodle shop, known as the best in the province. It also features the world's largest Great Phra Maha Thammaracha statue.
Ancient Loem Khao rice noodles can only be found in this province. There are two routes to travel to Phetchabun.
