THe village of Khao Takiab is just 10Km away from Hua Hin and it's easely accessible with a 200BAT taxi ride. There isnt much apart from beaches and out-of-place luxury condos which obstruct a nice breeze and a wonderful view More

We parked at the bottom and hiked up the hill. The view was amazing and the sun was setting. A panoramic of the ocean and the resorts down along the beach. Then we walked down the hill by stairs on the far side to the enormous standing golden Buddha. A spectacular and spiritual site. More

This is a beautiful temple. The views from the hill/mountain, are absolutely stunning & totally worth the climb. The climb is pretty intense if you are not moderately fit. Use the hand rails, they're there for a reason... the first set of steps are not very deep, and you could slip quite easily. More

My husband loves monkeys so went twice so we could feed them. They are so cute, but they climb on you to get food. Don't feed them if you are scared. They are used to people though so they weren't mean. The view from the hill of hua hin is nice too. More
