    Moderate difficulty hike. Make sure to wear appropriate clothing and shoes for the hike. It takes approximately 20-30 mins to get to the top. But the scenery is all worth it. The park ranger recommended to bring a bottle of water during the hike. There's good parking at the entrance. Kids age below 5 is not recommended as it will be too difficult for them for the hike.

    A good hike viewpoint! You can see the entire town. You have buy a ticket to access places that belong to the same national park area. It is worth it go do. It take probability 1 hours to reach the viewpoint. Take some water with you. No toilet of course. Be careful of monkey 🙈 they might try to steal your food. Definitely recommend to visit!

    Took a early ride out to the view point as it can be quite demanding clime in the heat id personally recommend some decent running shoes as the climb is a bit tricky with a few lose stones ect. I took a bottle of water and I'm glad i did as it was well needed I really enjoy the experience you will need to be relatively fit but just take your time and you will enjoy There are a lot of mosquito's around so if they like you I'd spay 😁

  • 5/5 Jie Ling S. 4 years ago on Google
    We scaled this hill with my 2 kids, 5 and 7. We were unprepared for the difficult trail ahead. My kids were wearing rubber crocs shoes while we wore slippers. Pls wear fully covered shoes as there are many sharp rocks and uneven grounds. There is not man made path for a leisure walk in the park. This is a very challenging climb that requires physical stamina, perseverance and determination. You may need to scale big and steep steps, going uphill is easier than going downhill. Once you reached the top, you are rewarded with spectacular views of the surroundings. You can see padi fields and entire national park. It started raining as we descended the hill. We were lucky to descend the hill without any major injuries as a fall would be full of scratches against the sharp rocks. Pls ascertain your physical fitness before embarking on this.

    Intermediate level of hiking, one needs to be fairly fit & do not forget a good pair of trekking shoes. You may need to go on all 4 at some points but fret not, totally manageable. We spent an hour to and fro. The trail was labelled with arrows, very helpful. The guards at the entrance point were there to keep us safe I guess, they took pictures of us before we started hiking & a picture after we reached the entrance point again. We truly enjoyed the views at the top. Worth visiting!

    480 meters to the top. Be prepared for steep and sharp rocks all the way to the top but worth it to spectacular view ! Need good shoes. No restroom in the area… It takes 1.5 hours to complete at normal speed pace.

  • 5/5 paonsiri y. 3 months ago on Google • 35 reviews New
    a moderate twenty minutes hike to a breathtaking view of Sam Roi Yod National Park will blow your mind. Start hiking before 3pm when the gate is closed; wear long pants protecting your skins from very sharp rocks and cactuses. Once you reach the top you will have a grand view of the ocean. Turn onto the left side and continue hiking down a bit and you will reach the another grand view of shrimp farmings below. Amazing!

    It's a very rough 750 meter path to the top. Shoes are recommended and bring drinking water. Once there a nice cooling breeze waits you with an overview of the surroundings.

    it's not too high but quite difficult due to steep rocks and even harder because of the rain. however, the 360 view is quite worth it. sea view at the front and mountain at the back is quite a unique view here. it took me about 30 minutes each leg.

  • 1/5 Greet D. 1 year ago on Google
    Tourist trap! You pay 200 baht for a boardwalk which is in ruins and therefore not open, a viewpoint which is “open till 15h” but yet again closed for no reason and with no explanation…. Total rip-off!

  • 5/5 Emma B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice view of the National park and the ocean. Definitely worth a stop if you are busting the park. Takes about 25 min to the top, walking slow without any stops. Many rocks along the way so you need a good balance for this hike.

  • 4/5 Rayvat U. 3 years ago on Google
    The hill to the top can be steep and tiring to go up and down. Not recommended to go up the mountain if for elderly, children, or people who has personal symptoms like high blood pressure or heart issues.

  • 4/5 D K. 1 year ago on Google
    Tough climb but very nice views once you are up there. Be careful as some of the rocks can be slippery. As others have mentioned the whole trail up is nearly all rocks and boulders and can be quite steep in some parts

  • 4/5 latif farooqi (. 10 months ago on Google
    A steep climb, most of the trail, slippery in places but those with a in reasonably good physical condition can manage, the view at the top is definitely worth the fatigue.

👍👍 The busiest place on this beach is around the Mermaid statue, it takes a long time to take a photo in front of the statue, because the queue is long, the beach is clean, the location is fun to explore and there are souvenir shops & drink sellers available
