Phraya Nakhon Cave Trekking
Itinerary
Meet Your Guide: Begin your adventure as your guide greets you at your hotel lobby before heading to Sam Roi Yod National Park.
Pineapple Plantation Visit: Start with a visit to Prachuap Khiri Khan’s pineapple fields. Learn about the region’s famous produce and enjoy scenic views of rural farmland.
Phraya Nakhon Cave Trek: Continue to Laem Sala Beach, where you will normally take a short longtail boat ride across the bay to the trailhead. The boat transfer takes only a few minutes and offers beautiful coastal scenery along the way.
In case of strong winds or rough sea conditions, the boat may not operate for safety reasons. When this happens, guests can reach Laem Sala Beach by walking along a scenic hillside path. The walk takes around 20–30 minutes and offers panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding cliffs.
Once at Laem Sala Beach, begin the hike to Phraya Nakhon Cave. The trail is moderately challenging, with rocky steps and forested sections, and generally takes 20–40 minutes depending on pace. Along the way, enjoy the peaceful nature and occasional viewpoints overlooking the coastline.
Inside the cave, you will be rewarded with one of Thailand’s most magical natural sights — the royal pavilion illuminated by beams of sunlight streaming through the cave’s open ceiling. The light is especially beautiful in the late morning, particularly during the cooler winter months when the sun angle is perfect.
This is a rare and unforgettable experience: a blend of adventure, natural wonder, and cultural significance. The journey may require effort, but the breathtaking view of the sunlit pavilion makes it truly worth it for those who reach it.
Lunch Break: Enjoy a delicious Thai lunch at a local restaurant to recharge after your trek.
Relax at a Secluded Beach: Spend some time relaxing on a quiet beach surrounded by nature. Perfect for photos, unwinding, or simply taking in the peaceful scenery.
Return to Hotel: After a full day of exploration, travel back to your hotel with unforgettable memories.
