Phetchaburi

Phetchaburi was a town between the Gulf of Thailand and the Tenasserim hills. Refounded by a prince from the Sukhothai region, it became a Sukhothai vassal before 1337.

In 1351 Phetchaburi was incorporated into the new kingdom of Ayutthaya. Its rulers kept it as a fortified frontier town. Murals at Wat Ko Kaeo Suttharam, dated 1734 or 1735, named local villagers among their donors.
