Petchburi's artistic fame is chiefly due to the murals in Wat Yai Suwannaram and Wat Ko Keo Sutharam. Thai murals typically date from the fall of Ayuthaya in 1767 until royal patronage ended about 1910. Ayuthaya Period murals were almost completely destroyed by the Burmese after the destruction of the capital; only Petchburi murals survive to illustrate early Thai painting.
