DAY 3 IN HUA HIN
If you haven read my previous post on how I spent day 1 and 2 in Hua Hin, read here: https://steemit.com/huahin/@evelynkai/what-to-do-in-hua-hin-day-1-and-day-2 :P
So day 3 of the trip we woke up to an unpleasant sight at the beach...
Tonnes of small fish were washed up dead along the Hua Hin beach after heavy rain the night before, sending freshwater fishes flooding out to the sea. People were seen catching live fishes off the beach..
The beach that was so beautiful the day before, turned into a fish graveyard :(
So today we are visiting the Khao Sam Roi National Park. We booked this private tour via KLOOK. As mentioned in my previous post, KLOOK is a phone app that allows you to book tours, unique experiences and airport transfer on a go. It is super easy to use and everything like transportation, admission fee and meal were included with no hidden charges!

Lets go!
Beautiful scenery on the way to Khao Sam Roi National Park.
Spotted this little one crossing the road.... ok not that little..
Stopped by a pineapple plantation and Bang-phu fishing village to peek into the life of the local.
Thailand's first coastal national park. The name Khao Sam Roi Yot translates in English to mean "the mountain with 300 peaks." You'll understand why the park was named this when you visit in person. You can look in any direction at the park and see dozens of jagged mountain peaks as far as your view will allow you to scan.
To reach the base of the mountain, we will need to a boat to Phayanakorn beach.
Ready set go!
Limestone formed over the years..
After a demanding and tiring climb...finally we reached the inside of the Phayanakorn cave where the majestic King's Pavilion rests. It was all worth it..the sweat and tears that were shed lol...Just look at the amazing sun ray shone inside the cave, illuminating the pavilion giving it a mystical appearance.
The atmosphere inside the cave was so tranquil and serene, especially when there were not many people around.
After our journey in the caves..
Lunch time..
Spent a little time at the beach before we leave for Bangkok...
So sad to leave Hua Hin.. this is indeed a hidden paradise...will be back for more...
Hua Hin, Cha-Am, Pranburi and Khao Takiab are located only a short distance from Bangkok, and are ideal locations for a short respite from the rigours of the Thai capital or even a full-fledged holiday in the tropical sun.
