Of the many activities, sites and attractions that make Hua Hin a great vacation destination, it is precisely the many nature reserves and parks that are within a short driving distance that make it a desirable destination and give it the special character made possible by the combination of luxury hotels and wild nature, and all this at prices accessible to every pocket.
The Sam Roi Yut Nature Reserve is about a fifty minute drive from Hua Hin towards the south and is considered by many to be the most beautiful and special attraction in the area. The meaning of the name in free translation is "the nature reserve of the three hundred mountain peaks" and it alludes to the magic that surrounds the place where mountains, rivers, valleys and fields come together to form a beautiful picture of nature that has no second.
With an area that covers about one hundred square kilometers, Sam Roy Ut is a perfect destination for an easy family trip, a romantic tour in front of a breathtaking sunset and even as a trekking site where those who walk will find plenty of paths and corners to explore and enjoy.
During your visit to the reserve, you will be able to see high mountains next to picturesque beaches, rivers next to caves, pleasant hiking trails that pass over wetlands, and countless species of wild animals and plants that make the place unique so that every photo you take during your trip in the area will be photogenic.
The hiking trails inside the reserve are many and varied so that you can find trails of any level of difficulty, starting with those that are also suitable for baby strollers and ending with trails designed for highly fit walkers.
Be that as it may, of all these it is recommended not to miss the "monkey island" (where a community of monkeys feed on oysters and crabs) in the park and the "dolphin bay" - although they are considered crowded with tourists, the atmosphere remains quiet and relaxed, as you would expect from the beating heart of The Thai jungle.
Address - Kui Buri District, Prachuap Khiri Khan
Opening Hours - 08: 00-15: 30
For your attention - If you want to visit Monkey Island or Dolphin Bay, it is recommended to do so close to sunset, and for that you must reserve a cruise ticket in advance. Accordingly, if you want to extend your stay and enjoy a trip of several days in the reserve, you should reserve a place to stay in one of the guest houses located on the beautiful coastline.
