Nestled in the heart of Sam Roi Yot National Park lies a hidden treasure — Phraya Nakhon.
Dating back to 1890, the site gained significance during King Rama V's visit when the iconic Kuha Karuhas Pavilion was constructed. This historical gem stands as a silent witness, seamlessly blending cultural heritage with the raw beauty of the natural surroundings.
Begin your journey with a scenic 30-40 minute stroll along the coast, leading to a pristine beach. For a maritime touch - or if you want to preserve your legs for more cycling down the coast, opt for a boat ride from the National Park ticketing office to reach the beach with ease.
The adventure continues with a challenging 45-minute climb to the cave. This ascent, though demanding, rewards you with a panoramic view and the sight of the Kuha Karuhas Pavilion—an iconic structure with historical significance.
Make sure you bring enough water with you (you can buy some on the beach before the climb) and wear sport shoes - flip-flops are definitely not advisable.
Inside the cave, witness nature's play of light as sunbeams pierce through openings, casting a mesmerizing glow on the pavilion. It's a simple yet enchanting spectacle.
Visit during the dry season (November to April) for the best experience. Phraya Nakhon Cave is not just a stop; it's an understated gateway to Thailand's hidden wonders.
