- Phraya Nakhon Cave — The park’s headline: a dramatic cave chamber with a photogenic royal pavilion tucked under a natural skylight. It’s a short but rewarding uphill walk and the light-beam-through-the-roof shot at the right time of day is unforgettable.
- Thung Sam Roi Yot Freshwater Marsh — Thailand’s largest coastal freshwater marsh, a magnet for migratory waterbirds and resident waders. Walk the boardwalks or scan the pools for egrets, herons and other shorebirds, especially in the cool season (roughly Oct-Mar).
- The “300 Peaks” Limestone Karsts — A jagged skyline of coastal limestone hills that give the park its name; great for short ridge hikes and wide panoramas. The sculpted karst scenery feels raw and otherworldly compared with Thailand’s usual beaches.
- Laem Sala Beach & Boat Access

- Laem Sala Beach & Boat Access — A pretty crescent of sand that’s the usual launch point for boats to sea caves and offshore islets; also the trailhead for the Phraya Nakhon walk. Calm water, fewer crowds than tourist beaches, and good for a relaxed swim after hiking.
- Mangrove Creeks and Estuary — Tangle of mangroves lining the park’s estuaries, best explored by kayak or longtail boat. Quiet habitat for fiddler crabs, kingfishers and small fish — a nice contrast to the limestone ridges.
- Coastal Caves and Small Islands — Sea caves and rocky islets just off the coast invite short boat trips, snorkeling and simple exploration. They add a marine dimension to the park’s inland wetlands and hills.
- Birdlife and Quiet Wildlife — Between marshes, mangroves and shorelines you’ll find a surprisingly rich mix of birds and small mammals; it’s a top spot for birdwatchers who like variety without trekking deep into the jungle. Bring binoculars and a patience for quiet hides.
