Khao Nang Phanthurat Forest Park

Khao Nang Phanthurat Forest Park is a protected forest park in Cha-am District, Phetchaburi Province, western Thailand, about 3 km west of Cha-am town. Centered on a limestone hill resembling a reclining woman, it is linked to the Nang Phanthurat legend from Thai folklore. The park features a short steep nature trail to a summit viewpoint, limestone formations, dry evergreen forest, and panoramic views over Cha-am, the coastline and surrounding plains.

Visitors can expect a small forested limestone hill with a marked nature trail leading to a summit viewpoint. The trail involves steep sections, concrete steps and rocky paths through dry evergreen and mixed deciduous forest. At the top, a viewpoint platform offers panoramic views of Cha-am town, coastline and surrounding countryside. The park is quiet, natural and undeveloped, with basic facilities at the base, interpretive signs about flora and folklore, and opportunities for short hiking, photography and nature observation.
