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 pavilion
For 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).
