Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park

Khao Sam Roi Yot is a marine national park in Sam Roi Yot district, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Thailand. It covers 98.08 square km, of which 20.88 square km are marine areas. The park was established in 1966, and was the first coastal national park of Thailand.

The name Khao Sam Roi Yot means “300 peak” mountain, which describes the landscape of the park quite well. The limestone hills rise directly at the shore of the Gulf of Thailand, with the highest elevation Khao Krachom 605m above sea level. Between the hills are freshwater marshes.

Two white sand beaches are located within the park namely Hat Laem Sala and Hat Sam Phraya. Hat Laem Sala is 17 km away from the park’s head quarters and can be reached from the village Ban Pu either by boat or by climbing up and down over a hill for nearly 30 minutes.

Rare animals in the park include the Mainland Serow, Dusky Langurs, as well as many bird species. In the ocean occasionally Irrawaddy Dolphins show up.

Pa La U Waterfalls

This cascade is located on the south side of Kaeng Krachan National Park, 90 kilometres north of Pranburi.

The waterfall is a very popular place to visit; it has 16 steps and is one of the highest in Thailand. The few who make it to the top will be rewarded by breathtaking views over Thailand and towards Burma even though people usually make it to the third stage; it has a large, deep pool, the water is always cool and refreshing and there are plenty of large friendly fishes swimming in it.

The surrounding forest is over 1,000 years old and wildlife is everywhere, particularly the noisy gibbon community and many rare bird species as well.

The falls can be visited at any time of the year, but will be at their best between July and November, during and just after the rainy season.
