Sam Roi Yot & the Phraya Nakhon cave pavilion

  • 8 hours
  • Small group
  • English, Thai
  • Free cancellation up to 48 h before

The trip, in short

Phraya Nakhon is the strangest place in this part of Thailand: a cave with a hole in the roof, and beneath the hole a four-gabled teak-and-gold pavilion built for Rama V in 1890.

Between roughly 10:00 and 10:30 in the dry season, a shaft of sunlight comes through the collapse and lands square on the pavilion. Getting there for it means a boat along the coast and then a steep 430-metre climb over a headland.

The rest of Sam Roi Yot — the "three hundred peaks" — is limestone, mangrove and marsh, and one of the better birdwatching sites in the country.

Highlights

  • The Khuha Kharuehat pavilion in the light shaft
  • Boat along the coast to Laem Sala beach
  • Sam Roi Yot mangrove boardwalk

Meeting point

Your hotel lobby in Hua Hin or Cha-am.

Pick-up area: Hua Hin and Cha-am hotels. We message your exact pick-up window the evening before, with the driver's name and vehicle.

Before you book

  • The climb over the headland is steep, rocky and about thirty minutes each way. Proper shoes, and not advisable with knee trouble.
  • The light beam is a dry-season phenomenon and depends on cloud. We cannot guarantee it.
  • The coastal boat does not run in heavy swell; the alternative is the longer land route.

Who you are contracting with

We are the organiser of this service

Organiser

We contract for this service as principal — it is operated by us, or by a local supplier engaged by us in our own name in Thailand. Your contract is with us, not with the driver, guide, captain or boat operator, and we carry the obligation to deliver it as described.

This service is performed in Thailand, by our Bangkok operation. Access Transit Express, registered in Indonesia, is the merchant of record for the payment: the charge, the invoice and any refund come from us, and your statement reads ACCESSTRANSITEXPRESS.

Cancellation & refunds

Cancel free up to 48 hours before the start time for a full refund to the card you paid with. Cancel later than that and the booking is non-refundable, because the vehicle, seat or greeter has already been committed.

  • Refunds are issued within one business day and reach your card in 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.
  • If we cancel — weather, a marine department closure, a mechanical failure — you choose a new date or a full refund, whenever we cancel.
  • No-shows and cancellations inside the window are not refundable. We will always try to move you to another date first.
