- joancollins69Melbourne, Australia617 contributionsI had a 3 day tour through excellent Tontan Travel and saw many amazing sites
Very good for bird watchers of which I'm not one
But still saw amazing wildlife from langurs to a sun bear
Very clean park and the Cafe at the lower park had excellent coffee and vegetarian eatsWritten April 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Don’t forget to bring paper for the toilet. 5baht for the toilet and 10 baht to shower.Written September 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan CManokwari, Indonesia26 contributionsThis place is approximately a 20 minute taxi drive from Cha am. The scenery is pretty on the way. The setup is simple, basically climb stairs to a platform and watch the bats emerge from the cave (from a distance). Enjoy a fascinating experience in nature with your kids. Definately worth a stop!Written June 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- E-star Leung7 contributionsBefore you go, something very important to keep in mind about taking photos and related behavior. If you have kids or if you like to travel with dolls or plush toys, make sure NOT to take ANY pictures with the toys once you’ve entered the palace gate.
We learned it the hard way, we brought plush toys and took pictures with them. We had a great time until the staff saw us. The lady asked us to delete the last few photos on the spot. She didn’t do a very good job explaining why she’s asking us to delete our pictures. We didn’t understand and I feel that both sides were offended. They stopped us AGAIN at the gate to ask us to show them our phones and camera, and to delete ALL photos with toys. They don’t even allow the key chain or bag accessory kinds of plush toys that some may hang on their backpacks. We kept asking and finally the lady said it’s impolite. We had no idea that know it was disrespectful (to the royal family?). They were very strict about it. We stood there for an entire ten minutes going through everything. They double checked and triple checked, zooming in to every photo we took. They even asked us to delete photos of us jumping.
So my guess is that we’re expected to behave VERY solemnly, no toys, no jumping. And I’m guessing we are to behave as we would when visiting a monastery or a church, not to appear like we’re having fun. The thing is, we are not aware of ANY of these “rules” until after we have unintentionally violated them. No one had told us anything about this. If they had warned us beforehand at the entrance, we wouldn’t have taken these pictures.
My advice is to NOT bring ANY toys into the palace area, or at least not let them see that you have. Or else, it’s highly likely that they will stop you to check all your photos. I believe this is a very important piece of information to share here in order to avoid any unexpected misunderstanding and unpleasant cultural shock.
I’m rating this place a 4 star because of the wonderful ocean view, the amazing historical architecture and the gorgeous gardens, but am taking out the last star for the unpleasant experience with the pictures.Written December 1, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The huge shop offers such US delicacies as toasted marshmallow ice creams.Written August 28, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John KCosta Mesa, CA2,447 contributionsThis market is open Wednesday evenings, beginning around 5:00. Many stalls selling clothing and food. Grilled prawns, curries, soups, grilled meats of all kinds, desserts, fruit, and more. There are a few stalls that allow sit down eating, but most are take away. Along one edge of the market, there are several actual restaurants where food and beverages can be had. Great place for people watching. Seems like half of Chaam comes out for the Wednesday evening gathering. Well worth a visit if you're in Chaam.Written March 31, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- john sJyväskylä, Finland311 contributionsAll around the internet and cellphone apps is said that the trail is 1,5 kilometres long and easy.
It isn't!
The length is over 5 kilometres. You climb up and down 3 peaks and if you walk to the Sang Thong holy well, the terrain is really difficult: steep hill, big sharp rocks. It took 2 hours 40 minutes for us to complete this trail.
Not for the old people, not for people who are not fit. It is quite hard to climb up and down steep slopes, though stairs can be found here and there.
The first viewpoint, Thung Setthi is ok for the older and unfit people.
Take at least 2 litres of water with you and take a rest when you feel like it.
Flip flops or crocs aren't the proper shoes here. Good sneakers or trekking sandals are ok.
The views from each viewpoint and along the route are fabulous! Totally worth all the effort.
We didn't see any snakes there. Some small lizards in lower parts oh the mountains. Many different birds can be seen.
If you are an outdoors person, this is for you. Take enough water, take breaks and enjoy the views.Written March 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Narumon CU23 contributionsThe area is pleasant with trees and beautiful ponds. Well-paved path meanders through the Green, good for walking, running, and cycling. People go for morning and evening exercise, but it is not crowded. There are exercise equipment in one area and a small coffee place in another area. There are information signs for certain trees, so this is a good recreation and learning place. During April, bright yellow Cassia flowers welcome visitors along the path.Written April 16, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MabirSingapore, Singapore68 contributionsNice place for little kids. If you have little ones below the age of 6 then this place is a good stop for a couple of hours. Feeding the bunnies are going to be the kids favorite activity.Written August 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Suvi LFinland6 contributionsNice experience, worth to visit. Good food, lots of choices and cheap prices. Clothes and other stuff were not so good quality but it was still nice to walk around.Written November 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Frank JHua Hin, Thailand85 contributionsIf you enjoy visiting temples, you will likely enjoy this one. Against the backdrop of a small mountain, some of the temple areas are located in small caves in the mountain. Lots of trees and shady areas to stroll. Worth a visit if you are a temple person.Written August 13, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
