The 40th Phra Nakhon Khiri — Mueang Phet festival in Phetchaburi province. It is scheduled for March 5–14, 2027. The official materials also announce the theme: “Heavenly Palace of Phra Nakhon Khiri, Jewel of Siam.” It sets the cultural context of the event, but program details have not yet been published. The exact venue, schedule, cost and visitor rules are not confirmed. So before traveling, check the organizer’s new announcements: without an address and opening hours, you cannot reliably plan a visit. The provincial governor has asked all parties to wear traditional Thai clothing a month before the festival. This is a request, not a confirmed condition of entry.
