A new hiking experience is opening in Prachuap Khiri Khan this April, as park officers at Khao Ta Mong Lai Forest Park give the public a rare chance to climb to the summit.
Located around 1 hour 30 minutes from Hua Hin, the viewpoint offers panoramic views across Prachuap Bay and the surrounding coastline, along with a cave at the top.
The hike is suitable for those with a moderate level of fitness, with park rangers on hand to assist and rope sections installed along parts of the trail.
Access will be available over Songkran and on selected weekends throughout April, although demand is already high, with 11 April now fully booked.
Advance registration is required
