Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, located in Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand, is renowned for its stunning limestone mountains, which rise dramatically from the Gulf of Thailand. The name "Sam Roi Yot" translates to "Mountain with 300 Peaks," reflecting the park's rugged terrain. Covering an area of approximately 98 square kilometers, the park features a diverse range of ecosystems, including mangrove swamps, freshwater marshes, and coastal beaches. One of the park's most famous attractions is the Phraya Nakhon Cave, which houses a royal pavilion and is accessible via a challenging trek. The park is also a haven for bird watchers, with over 300 species recorded, especially during the migratory season. Pristine beaches, such as Laem Sala Beach, offer tranquil spots for relaxation. Visitors can also explore the Thung Sam Roi Yot Freshwater Marsh, the largest of its kind in Thailand, which is home to a variety of aquatic plants and wildlife.
