Journey to Sam Roi Yot National Park. Located 63 kilometres south of Hua Hin in the vicinity of Kui Buri district, this coastal national park covers an area of 98 square kilometres with limestone mountains, mangrove swamps, and beaches. It is also home to various kinds of local and migrating birds, which are plentiful from November to February. With a large number of ridges, Khao Sam Roi Yot (or the mountain of 300 peaks) stands as a landmark for seamen and also provides a good shelter for ships during a storm.
Our journey starts with a visit to a pineapple plantation. Then we go to a coconut farm, where we see trained monkeys picking coconuts from palms. Continue to Bang-Pu fishing village, where we take a boat ride out through the village to the open sea. (subject to sea conditions). Take in Bang-Pu?s thriving fishing industry, preparing for the day catch.
Our 20 minutes boat trip concludes at a beautiful stretch of beach below the Tham Phraya Nakhon Cave. The cave has a big hole through which a shaft of light reaches and permits the growth of various kinds of plants. Phra Thi Nang Khuha Kharuhat, a Thai style pavilion, lends the most attractive sight to the cave and has become the symbol of Prachuap Khiri Khan. It is a four-porched building first constructed in Bangkok in 1890 during the reign of King Rama V, then dismantled and moved to the cave where it was reconstructed. Its gable tops were raised by the King himself.
After lunch, you are free to relax and swim. |
