Not to be missed Amazing stunning View of Phang Nga Bay from the mainland

This lookout needs to be on your list of things to do. You can hire a driver to take you or drive yourself it easy to find. The view over Phang Nga Bay is spectacular. There's a lovely little restaurant at the top for refreshments. When you arrive you park at the bottom , you can either walk up but o wouldn't recommend its very steep and a long road up, or you just pay a small amount (40b I think) for a return trip in the vehicle

    Nice view, but awesome...?
    In Phangna this is an iconic viewpoint that every tourist ˋshould´ see. The access is 13 km off the main road. From a parking site a pick up brings you up to the viewpoint for 50 baht. The view from there is nice but for the seasoned tourist not overwhelming. Mother Earth has nicer places than this. So all the adjectives synonym to ´awesome´ are in my opinion exaggerated. At the top there is a small restaurant, crowded even now and for some mysterious reason it is assumed that we need loud Thai music to enhance the experience.... So, if you are near, have a look, but it is not worth a special long trip.

    Fantastic view but…
    There’s no doubt that the view is very good but everything else associated with this viewpoint could, and should be much better. To reach the viewpoint from the car park, you can pay a few baht and climb into the back of a pick up truck for an extremely bumpy ride upto the viewpoint. Anybody with mobility problems would find the journey impossible. As mentioned, the view is very good but the best in Thailand? I don’t think so. There’s a cafe and toilets. The toilets were frankly disgusting and when they had last been cleaned was anybodies guess. The same pick up truck will return you to the car park where there are a few food stalls. When we returned, some other Thai people told us it’s better to use the transport at a near by hotel. Not the sort of place to visit more than once.
