Hiking

90minutes out from Hua Hin, the drive to Pa La-U Waterfall is a beautiful and serene experience, you will be greeted by the green hilly countryside.

There are a total of 11 levels for this waterfall, of which only 5 are open to the public. The trail can get a tad bit slippery so appropriate footwear is a must! Level 1 and 2 are an easy climb, from then on, it is more of rock climbing with the help of strategically placed ropes. The waters are clear and you can see fishes in the pools. Some may opt for a dip in the cool waters after that climb!

The other place where you can go for hiking is Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, about an hour’s drive from Hua Hin. There’s plenty to see at this National park, from beaches to cave exploration and bird watching.
