Palmyra Palm Sugar

“Phetchaburi” is considered to be an old province that is more than thousands of years old. Traces of pre-historic humans dating back to 2,000-3,000 years have been discovered here. The prosperity of the Phetchaburi land in the past made the land one of the golden areas that three Kings chose to build their palaces here. One of them was “Phra Nakhon Kiri Palace (Khao Wang),” which was a palace from accrued sugar tax. At that time, the Chinese collected tax by walking around the community and deciding which things should be taxed. Then, they made a proposal to the officials for tax collection. There was even a tax on morning glory during the late Ayutthaya period, which gave the villagers troubles. When the King acknowledged this, it was terminated.
