Khao Sam Roi Yot was declared as the first coastal nationalpark in Thailand on 28 June 1996. This 98 square kilometers park is located approximately 300 km south-west of Bangkok, in Prachuap Khiri Khan province. "Khao Sam Roi Yot" means the mountain with 300 peaks. A series of grey limestone mountains which rise from the gulf of Thailand and adjacent coastal marsh to a maximum height of 605 meters. The wooded mountains make it a site of outstanding natural beauty, but it is the freshwater marsh and coastal habitats, that gives the park ecological significance. They offers fine sandy beaches, spectacular caves, superb mountain viewpoints, offshore islands, forest trails, boat excursions, and estuarine and mangrove habitats, all within a relatively small area. It's the best place in Thailand to watch migratory shore birds,and around 300 species of birds has been recorded seen in the park, mostly during the winter months.
My photo was taken from:
Khao Daeng viewpoint located between the headquarters and the Khao Daeng village. A 30 minute sweaty climb up a steep rocky 320 meters trail takes you to the top of Khao Daeng, at an elavation of 157 meters. A panoramic view of the coastal area and mountain scenery are the rewards.

A little more green has been added with Photoshop.
