“Mountains of Three Hundred Peaks” – I have been to Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park many times in the past years. However, apparently I have never made a destination to Phraya Nakhon Cave which is located in part of Limestone mountains of the National Park area. Well, I finally made a trip to there during the Songkarn holidays last week.
Taking a boat from the Laem Sala Beach is the easiest way to go to the cave. After 10-15 minutes riding a boat and landed on a beach, a short distant walking through the rainforest leads you to a sign of another path to the cave. A 430m steep uphill mountain trek is the real way to take you to the cave.
Phraya Nakhon Cave is actually two sinkholes whose roof has fallen in, letting in sunlight. If you could go through the rocky trek, there is the Subterranean sanctuary of the King Rama V’s pavilion which is well worth to your climbing effort to see.
Is it easy to get around in the park? Are caves and scenic views within walking distance of each other?
hi withbackpack, it’s very easy and convenient to travel there and around the park. there are two ways to go to the cave i posted, by boat or trekking path. the national park itself covers quite a big area.
