Kuha Karuhas Pavilion

Kuha Karuhas Pavilion is a historic four-gabled Thai pavilion located inside Phraya Nakhon Cave in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, Sam Roi Yot District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. Built in 1890 for King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), it sits within a large collapsed cave chamber surrounded by stalactites and forest. The pavilion is renowned for the dramatic sunlight beam that illuminates it and is the emblem of the province.

Visitors can expect a historic teak pavilion set in the center of a large open-roof cave chamber inside Phraya Nakhon Cave. The chamber is surrounded by limestone walls, stalactites, stalagmites and trees growing inside the cave. Access requires a boat crossing or walk to Laem Sala Beach followed by a steep uphill hike and descent into the cave. Inside, visitors can view the pavilion, walk around the chamber floor, observe natural light effects and take photographs.
