Nice clean national park with amazing view and Well organize. The entrance fee for adult 40 baht and for kid 20 baht. Round trip boat for 400 baht maximum 6 persons for each boat. It took about 25 mins walk to reach Royal Pavilion inside the cave. It was the highlight for this trip. Along the way, the visitors can enjoy the view and wild animal especially white face monkeys. Watch out the steps and bring along a bottle of drinking water. It’s quite hot and humid. Would recommend to visit once in the life time.

Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park is a marine national park in Kui Buri District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Thailand. It covers 61,300 rai ~ 98 square kilometres (38 sq mi) of which 13,050 rai ~ 21 square kilometres (8.1 sq mi) are marine areas. The park was established in 1966, and was the first coastal national park of Thailand. The park includes Thailand's largest freshwater marsh. The limestone hills are a sub-range of the Tenasserim Hills that arise at the shore of the Gulf of Thailand, with the highest elevation being Khao Krachom at 605 meters (1,985 ft). Between the hills are freshwater marshes. Several of these marshes were converted into shrimp farms, as only 22,000 rai ~ 35 square kilometres (14 sq mi) of the total 43,000 rai ~ 69 square kilometres (27 sq mi) of marshes are part of the national park. A portion, 11,000 rai ~ 18 square kilometres (6.9 sq mi), of these marshes are scheduled to be declared a Ramsar site. Two white sand beaches are in the park, Hat Laem Sala and Hat Sam Phraya. Hat Laem Sala is 17 km from park headquarters and can be reached from the village Ban Pu either by boat or by climbing up and down over a hill for nearly 30 minutes. Five uninhabited islands lie just offshore. The park is approximately 58 kilometers (36 mi) south of Hua Hin. The origin of the name "Khao Sam Roi Yot" is undetermined. Local lore has it that it means 'mountain with 300 peaks', or the range had been an island where 300 survivors from a sinking Chinese junk sought refuge, or the range was named after a local plant called sam roi yot. The temperature in winter (between October - February) ranges from 18˚C to 25˚C. The temperature in summer (between March - May) ranges from 23˚C to 32˚C. The temperature in the monsoon season (between June - September) ranges from 20˚C to 30˚C. The park is home to a variety of birds, including the common kingfisher, the black-capped kingfisher, the collared kingfisher, the little heron, the little egret, and the Javan pond-heron. Wildlife found in the mangroves includes pla teen ([mudskippers]), pu kam dab (fiddler crabs), ling samae (the crab-eating macaque), collared kingfisher (nok kin pieo), snapping shrimp (kung deed khan), mud creeper (hoi khika), and oysters (hoi nangrom). Rare animals in the park include the mainland serow (Nemorhaedus sumatraensis), dusky langurs (Trachypithecus obscurus), fishing cats (Prionailurus viverrinus), as well as many bird species. At sea, Irrawaddy dolphins (Orcaella brevirostris) are sometimes seen.

A beautiful national park less than 4 hour-drive from Bangkok. The park fee for foreigners is 200 baht and 40 baht for Thai citizens. This fee will get you to all the landmarks of the park including beach parks, cool caves, and viewpoints. I highly recommend this place for hikers and outdoor activities. The beach is much less crowded but quite shallow compared to Cha-Am beaches.

Amazing place! Caves, viewpoints, cardio;). Highly recommend spending here a whole day. Don't forget about water and hat.

The Visitor Center here has information boards detailing the creation of this park and the flora & fauna. The Foreigner Ticket gives you access to the Mangrove Board walk pathway here as well as other sites in the National Park. The circular walkway through the Mangroves is great, and the viewing tower at the half point gives you great views across the swamp and of the hills behind. Watch put for monkeys on the walkway, particularly the Mums with babies. They don't much like you walking past them and were baring their teeth to me.

Super scenic. A wonder of Thailand no doubt. Need to check out the temple in the cave. I recommend walk the way there then take a boat back for only 200 baht per couple. The park is huge you can spend a long time there. If lucky you'll see some spectacular wildlife too.

Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, in Thailand's Prachuab Khiri Khan province, transcends the typical definition of a national park. It's an intricate tapestry woven from rugged limestone karsts, emerald jungles, and crystal-clear waters, all harmonizing in a symphony of breathtaking beauty. My recent exploration of this natural masterpiece left me deeply impressed by its sheer spectacularness and diverse ecosystems. From the moment you arrive, the park's dramatic allure envelops you. Towering limestone peaks, aptly nicknamed "The Mountain with Three Hundred Peaks," pierce the sky, their ancient faces etched with the tales of time. Sunlight dances across these imposing cliffs, casting a mesmerizing play of light and shadow. Lush vegetation cloaks the lower slopes, creating a vibrant emerald counterpoint to the stark stone. This verdant haven pulsates with the calls of exotic birds and the rustle of unseen creatures, hinting at the rich biodiversity waiting to be discovered. Then, there's the sea. The azure expanse of the Gulf of Thailand unfolds before you, lapping against pristine beaches and whispering secrets in the gentle breeze. The contrast between the rugged cliffs and the serene waters is captivating, a visual poem painted in turquoise and emerald hues. Kayak through the tranquility of Bueng Bua freshwater marsh, a haven for migratory birds and exotic flora. Immerse yourself in the vibrant greens of the mangrove forests, teeming with life and echoing with the symphony of unseen creatures. Khao Sam Roi Yot's beauty extends beyond the captivating landscapes. It's a treasure trove of hidden gems waiting to be unearthed. Explore the Tham Phraya Nakhon Cave, a hidden sanctuary adorned with a royal pavilion and bathed in ethereal sunlight filtering through a hidden ceiling opening. Hike through dense jungle trails, encountering ancient temples and waterfalls veiled by cascading foliage. Climb to the summit of Khao Daeng, the park's highest peak, and be rewarded with panoramic vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see. Whether you're an intrepid adventurer seeking thrilling hikes and spelunking expeditions, or a nature enthusiast yearning for quiet moments of reflection amidst serene beauty, Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park has something for you. It's a place to reconnect with the raw power and unadulterated beauty of nature, to feel the rhythm of the earth beneath your feet, and to breathe in the essence of a unique and wondrous ecosystem. So pack your bags, lace up your boots,

There are many parts to this national park, not just the famous Phraya Nakhon Cave. Once you pay the 200 thb entry fee, you can visit all sections of the park without extra charge. If you come from Hua Hin, I would recommend this itinerary: First visit Phraya Nakhon Cave, as it's the main attraction. Then if you have any energy left, you can drive to the southernmost part of the park to the visitor center. Here is a short boardwalk leading you through the mangroves. Takes about 15 minutes to walk the circular route. Dusky leaf monkeys can be seen. They also have interesting information about the park, and clean toilets. Not worth a special trip here, but once you have driven to the cave, this is not much farther. Then I suggest driving to Sam Phraya Beach. Spend an hour or two enjoying an empty beach in a very scenic location. More clean toilets, and a good place to eat lunch. This beach, in my opinion, is worth a special trip if you plan to spend the day, or the night (they have houses to rent, or you can camp). Very peaceful. Lastly, you can stop at Sai Cave. Sai cave isn't worth a special trip, but again, if you've come this far you might as well see the cave. Not the best toilets here. From there it's an hour's drive back to Hua Hin, a full day. I spent about 8 hours on this itinerary, but you could do it in a little less if you push it.

Thailand does national parks very well... Khao Sam Roi Yot is no exception. Some mobility challenges here as getting to and from the caves require moderate fitness, good shoes, and grit. Beaches and parks are clean, well marked, and signs posted in Thai /English. Every park has something unique to offer. Park entrance fees help maintain the natural beauty and facilities. If you're tired of all the other usual touristy places.. consider this park. Thumbs up!

The great national park from a collection of parks Thailand has to offer. It is very close to Hua Hin; like an hour drive. The park has different areas and you should allocate good few hours if you want to cover what this place has to offer. After you enter the main gate you have a beautiful walk on a wooden deck around the mangrove trees, a good tip would be to go up in spots that you see stairs in order to see their location from a little bit above. There are a couple of different Long Table cruises which you can join. One of which is a long tail drive that takes an hour to cruise through lotus flowers plantation. And another one that will take you to a sort of a Fishermans village. You can also arrange and have different tracks my foot climb and also enter a cave

The Thai National Park arranged our taxi for the day, we received excellent service in a beautiful, clean Toyota SUV. Had a swim at the gorgeous Laem Sala Beach to cool off before and after the trek to the cave. We took the arduous route to the Phraya Nakhon Cave. Took the trip back by boat for 200Bhat, well worth it. We had lunch, skipped the canal tour and viewpoint. The Sam Phraya Beach seemed nice but the water was too rough to swim that day. The Bueng Bua Boardwalk was well maintained. The lotus were beautiful, we saw lots of fish, birds and flowers. Wonderful trip❤️

Beautiful park with dramatic mountain scenery. We visited during a particularly hot and humid day. Drink and bring plenty of water along with a willingness to hike. The walk up the mountain as soon as you enter the park is a bit strenuous but you will be rewarded with some dazzling cave views.

I was there on a long weekend holiday and the park was not so crowded. I suggest bringing lots of water and may be energy bars if planning to climb. The beach is very big but muddy so take off shoes. The restrooms are not great. The park itself is well maintained and I enjoyed the boat ride.

This is a huge National Park and there are many sites you can visit. We visited 2 of the 3 caves . It was quite a hike to get to those caves . We stayed at the bungalow of the national park ; not realizing there are many other equally nice (and perhaps cheaper chalets) along the beach It’s December and the wind is really strong Highly recommended place to stay and explore

Bueng Bua in Khao Sam Roi Yot national park is breathtakingly beautiful. A must visit if you're going to Khao Sam Roi Yot. It's a bit of a drive from the park's main entrance HQ. It's actually closer to Pran Buri district side. You can hire a boat tour at the marshland for 45 minutes, for 500 baht, to take you thru the fresh-water marshland, we chose to use the boardwalk since it's newly built Unfortunately, there were very few lotus and water lilies remained, but there were plenty of birds around. There's a watch-tower that you can go up to and see the 360 viewpoint.

Quiet and scenic with a "nice" hike to reach the cave. Well worth the hike!

Although the surrounding scenery is beautiful, half of the scenic spots are not open, and they are still the main scenic spots. In such a remote place, the main attractions were closed, and there was no announcement. So far away, running for nothing, I feel very bad.

Beautiful nature and not a lot of people visiting (yet) it seems covid still has some kind of impact. Sometimes you have sites for you alone. It is good for a day trip from the cities around. Be prepared to walk steep sections with high temperatures

Thung Sam Roi Yot Freshwater Marsh was the best part, hire a small boat here after 4 pm. Baht500 per hour. No point to go between 8 am to 4 pm. Board walk closed. Khao Daeng view point next best, needs good walking shoes.

This is a beautiful national park not far from Khao Yai. To get to the temple inside the cave, you pay a nominal park fee & have to take a long tail boat from the main entrance. If it’s in low tide, you will have to walk through muddy quicksand like conditions to get to the boat. There will be tons of lil tiny crabs crawling around the sand and you’ll encounter sand dollars & sea cucumbers (watch your step so you don’t accidentally squish one of these!) Then you hike into the cave. It’s a pretty easy hike (I did it with flip flops) This temple has been around since Rama V escaped a storm. The remains of a Venerable Monk is there too. If you’re there at the right time of the day, sunlight shines on the temple from the hole above.

Beautiful, but the trail is not easy especially if you are not wearing sensible shoes. The cave is worth it though. (The photos here don't do it justice at all) 10/10 recommended if you are healthy, have no heart or knee problems.

We really enjoyed our one day visit of Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. Entrance fee is 200 thb/person. In the morning we visited beautiful wood broadwalk (approx 1,8 km walk there and back) and took one hour boat ride. There were way more birds to see than from the broadwalk. The boat costs 500 thb/boat (not person). After that we went to Phraya Nakhon Cave. We park at the Bang Pu beach (20 thb) and then walked approx 2 km. It's steep trail but doable even when hot. We saw monkeys and monitor lizard on the way there.

เปลี่ยนบรรยากาศจากเขามาเป็นทะเลบ้างเพราะเริ่มเข้าฤดูร้อนแล้ว และไม่ผิดหวังเลยเพราะสถานที่สะอาด จนท.มีการแนะนำดี วิวไม่ต้องพูดถึง คุณต้องแพ็คกระเป๋าและมาค้นหาด้วยตัวเอง บอกเลยว่าประทับใจสุดๆ สมกับชื่อ 300ยอดจริงๆ และยังมีแหล่งท่องเที่ยวในพื้นที่อีกหลายแห่งด้วยนะ 😉

It’s ok to visit once. Better to have proper shoes on, not the easiest track.

Peaceful place to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding mountains and bird-watching. Only doesn't have enough care to finish all repairings. So half of the spot is not accessible..

This is so beautiful and a must do when you are in / around Hua Hin. From the parking it is a hike of approximately 2 km. It is difficult but when having a normal condition you should be able to manage. You will have some nice views during the climb. Halfway there is a restaurant if you need a rest. When the weather is good there are also boats that bring you from the start to the restaurant but we did not have that luck. From the restaurant the road is not getting any better but when you are finally in the cave it was definitely worth your effort.

We visited this place late afternoon just before sunset and took a boottour. It was a nice experience with a guide that explained some history of the area. Was a beautiful tour with spectaculair views and many birds flying around the boat.

It’s quite a hike to get to the temple down in the cave but well worth it.

แนะนำลองเข้าไปชมนิทรรศการครับ มีเรื่องราวที่น่าสนใจเยอะ โดยเฉพาะเรื่องเสือปลา แรดชวา เลียงผา

Beautiful place. Worth visiting. We were too tired and didn't enter

(Translated by Google) beautiful, peaceful, nice to relax but a lot of monkeys (Original) สวยงามสงบน่ามาพักผ่อน แต่น้องลิงเยอะมาก

华欣之行最有意思的一程，景点之间距离较远，还好我们是租车自驾的，请穿便于爬山的鞋，因为真的都是原始山路，有时候需要手脚并用！最好早晨早点出发去，我们出发完了，只玩了三个景点。

Nice boat ride, and climb up to the Phraya Nakorn Cave

Very beautiful grouping of coastal mountains, but if you're not local, transportation here is difficult. I'm sure there are vans and busses but plan the trip accordingly. The guided boat ride is nice. For fishing, they told me you have to be about 300 meters from the shore/park area. The view is breathtaking.

It is just called natural beauty where you can take a deep breath of fresh air and the most attractive place in Prachuab Khiri Khan Province, not far from Bangkok. All I can say is just WOWDERFUL 🤩☺️😁 Peace of mind during holiday 🏖

They've fixed this place up nicely. Helpful people at info desk speak English fairly well. Even a coffee shop that got my custom order right (which is fairly unusual in Thailand). Lots of monkeys wandering around--illegal to feed them.

Wonderful visit.... Walk rocky path 450 mts then walk along the beach before walking up again for another 30 mins rocky path again to the cave. The cave is beautiful and peaceful. Along the path to the cave you will see lovely monkeys. It is recommended to keep silent and not to disturb them. The walk can be very challenging although when dry it might be slippery... To avoid if raining. Plenty of water a towel if you sweat a lot (you can have a shower after the cave visit) restaurant and eatery available. Bring a hat. Shorts or hiking pants and dry fit t-shirt.

Beautiful National Park. 1 hour from Hua Hin with good access. It is dual price but worth the visit.

Nice view from Khao Daeng View Point, but it takes 30 minutes to go up. Not for ordinary tourists. Thung Sam Roi Yot Freshwater Marsh _Bueng Bua Boardwalk is for everybody, beautiful 1 km walk.

Nice and helpful staff

ซื้อบัตรค่าเข้า อช. เขาสามร้อยยอด 40 บาท/คน เข้าได้หลายที่ ใน 1 วัน ให้แพลนการเดินทางมาดีๆ เช่น จุดชมวิวเขาแดง ถ้ำไทร ถ้ำแก้ว ถ้ำพระยานคร ฯลฯ

A little bit harder to climb but all worth it.

(Translated by Google) Each destination is very different from each other. Sam Phraya Beach has a lot of mosquitoes. (Original) ที่เที่ยวแต่ละที่ห่างกันมาก หาดสามพระยายุงเยอะมากๆๆๆๆๆๆ

Love this national park. It's very beautiful. I have been coming back to this location for more than 25 years. The cycling is astounding. Love it here ..

The place was nice and clean. You can see monkey and the forest on the mountain. It's linked to many attractions.

Amazing experience. If you aren’t an experienced scooter driver I highly recommend renting a car. The park is wonderful and worth the hour drive from Hua Hin. This pin is to the visitor center where you can walk in the mangroves with monkeys! The women there can give you a map of the park and recommendations. 10/10 you have to do this when going to Hua hin!

Having a good time with scenery landscape and beautiful lotus, lots of birds.

เขาสามร้อยยอด หรือว่ารอดมา300คน! ถามใครดี??? ตรงนี้เป็นจุดบริการข้อมูลให้กับนักท่องเที่ยว มีคุณลุงเจ้าหน้าที่คอยให้ข้อมูลแบบละเอียดยิบ ว่าควรจะเที่ยวจุดไหนบ้าง

Just amazing, if going get there by mid day to catch the sun. Is a VERY tough walk, would not recommend for very unfit

Recommended for the restaurant at sam-pra-ya beach in the National park. Good services, nice staffs and the food very delicious. It’s close 8 pm. You should try!!!

incredible pure beauty 💘 the view point is breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to met some cute monkeys

Nice place to visit, lots of things to see & take pictures
