Thailand Family Visit: Royal Pavilion Cave at Sam Roi Yot National Park Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Central Provinces, Sam Roy Yot, Travel to Thailand 5 (4)About 60km south of Hua Hin is Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, the name literally translated meaning the hills with 300 peaks, considered the Thai "Guilin", the site is really worth a look. The only drawback, in addition to being paid (200 baht per person) is that it is not necessarily easy to find your way around what to see there, ideally as was the case the first time I came, we had a booklet from the hotel which had helped a lot. This time, I had nothing but my memories... I will miss the lake (artificial by the way) covered in lotus flowers at the foot of one of these majestic rocky mountains. Especially since they were normally in bloom (unlike the time before...).The cave at the royal pavilionFor this first part, we went to the famous Phraya Nakhon cave where the royal pavilion is located, built for the visit of King Rama V who came to visit these places (and left his signature on a facade of the cave).Arrived in a fishing village. Our transport is arriving. DSC_0574.JPGThe ground is a little muddy. Mutual fun.An additional passenger. Renting bamboo as a walking stick, 20 baht, anything goes to make some money... but it's not obligatory. I arrive after a 20 minute climb. Pay for your descent.Stalactites forming a “dry” waterfall.Obviously, a photo doesn't convey the height or grandeur of the place. To get an idea you can see my father in blue at the bottom right.This very “welcoming” passage leads you to the royal pavilion. I don't know how the dog got there... Signatures of different kings.Early in the morning the light is apparently (according to the postcards) superb.If you actually go around the place you can come across this at the bottom, the "crocodile" rock. Some people walk barefoot here!? Charming… Just as charming. The name of this cave is Tham Phra Nakhon.Reverse path.The beginning is always easy, in this sense it is in this case the end since here I am back at the bottom after 15 minutes and my knees are mush.
