Mueang Phetchaburi ({{langx|th|เมืองเพชรบุรี}}, {{IPA|th|mɯ̄aŋ pʰét.tɕʰā.bū.rīː|pron}}) is the capital district (amphoe mueang) of Phetchaburi province, western Thailand.
History
The district was established around 1903.{{cite web|publisher=Royal Society of Thailand|title=อักขรานุกรมภูมิศาสตร์ไทย|trans-title=The Royal Institute Thai Gazetteer|edition=Online|language=Thai|url=http://www.royin.go.th/?page_id=143|accessdate=15 May 2018}} The government named it Khlong Krachaeng because its center was in Tambon Khlong Krachaeng.
