Uncover The Hidden Gem Of Hua Hin: Phraya Nakhon Cave Day Trip In Thailand

[@PaddyDoyle.]

WOW.... just wow

[@karlsthailand]

You’re not going to tell me you missed this one are you Paddy? Actually I don’t recall seeing it on your Prachuap videos

[@JBWanders73]

Done this one a number of times mate. I LOVE this place and it brings back so many memories from over the years. Jacob tried to show off one year, by running up... he then had to sit down for 40 minutes.

[@karlsthailand]

I think I remember you telling me about Jacob Jimmy. It's pretty much the perfect day hike in Thailand tbh...so long as you take it easy lol.

[@scottjohnson921]

Amazing cave. I love that area.

[@karlsthailand]

It really is Scott. If you catch the light at the right time it’s almost magical. Cheers

[@cryptotrader2779]

What a magical place. Lovely stuff. Thanks.

[@karlsthailand]

It really is! My pleasure, thanks

[@gerardwise67]

One of my favourite places in Thailand 🇹🇭 ❤

[@karlsthailand]

It can be magical at the right time of year and day. Cheers

[@keithd1219]

I was dying doing that climb and i went by boat...plus i ended up getting heat exhaustion and sprained both my ankles. Kudos to you both....its not easy.

[@karlsthailand]

That’s a shame Keith. For sure if you don’t do that kind of thing very often it will be tough. Cheers

[@lemonfarmthailand]

My favourite part of Thailand.

[@karlsthailand]

There’s certainly plenty to do within an hour or twos drive. Ch

[@andrewhyland9212]

Well worth the trek. That place was beautiful.

[@karlsthailand]

Yes it was Andy, it’s pretty much a perfect hike tbh. Especially if you time it right

[@fletcherf69]

Well that one was a belter Karl👍

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks so much

[@mariettathornton5924]

What an awesome cave! Beautiful 🤩 Thanks for sharing Karl:)

[@karlsthailand]

My pleasure Marietta. Thank you

[@EarthCamper]

The map and animation gave very good perspective. Your hiking videos are so encouraging to keep up the health. Thank you for sharing the great video.

[@karlsthailand]

My pleasure EarthCamper and thanks

[@KLANGBAN01]

Phraya Nakhon Cave is location where opening Muaythai fighter in PS game, TEKKEN 7

[@karlsthailand]

I didn't know that. Cheers

[@SurinLeiningen]

Glad you showed what the pavilion looked like during the best time. Quite a reward at the end of the hike to see. Cheers

[@karlsthailand]

Yes it was! I’ve been there at least 5 times and wanted to convey how much more magical an experience it is if you time it right. A sunny morning, November through January and it’s incredible

[@DJR382]

Another great one Karl . Gotta do that one myself . Love the interactions with the locals.

[@karlsthailand]

You should! Yes, I find the Thais to be a lot of fun when they're out and about. Cheers

[@WasOnce.]

Great Place, I wish I could go hiking with Karl.

[@karlsthailand]

You never know, I do hike with subscribers sometimes. Where are you located?

[@WasOnce.]

@@karlsthailand currently USA, but often return to Thailand with my Thai partner of 23 years. Thanks for the reply.

[@Gift-we4zo]

สวยงามมากค่ะ✌️🍀

[@karlsthailand]

ขอบคุณมากครับ

[@andersbergman7241]

oh what a lovely hike. What a huge cave. Good job Kalle and Baldy💪👍

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks Anders, it’s a very enjoyable morning hike.

[@vegas_vince1238]

Wonderful video Karl! Thanks for putting this together.

[@karlsthailand]

Glad you enjoyed it Vince. Cheers

[@MarkSantaCruz]

That light was beautiful down there Karl. The old chap looked like he had covered a fair few miles in his hiking career. Brian's self deprecating humour was funny, and Thai signs are usually good for a chuckle as well. Very enjoyable video as usual.

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks Mark.That Thai guy was amazing and Brian's nearly always good for a laugh.

[@michaellapalme]

Fantastic! I wish I had terrain like that to explore!

[@karlsthailand]

It's well worth the journey Mike, thanks

[@STEADY599]

Lovely stuff

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks for taking the time to watch it Eddy. Great to see you yesterday evening.

[@KohYaoYai]

Great! 👍

[@karlsthailand]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@31interact]

Looked hard work Karl beautiful views

[@karlsthailand]

Nowhere near as tough as what we hiked together John. Cheers buddy

[@BeeLutler]

Another great vlog Karl, that place looks stunning

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks very much

[@cumbriafoodie2259]

My tip..... Get the boat both ways, it's far too hot for that hike over the mountain. Enjoyed the video, best wishes from whitehaven (cumbria).

[@karlsthailand]

lol. I love that little hike over the hill. Thanks

[@rickbault1221]

Hi Karl, this is one of our favorite hikes. We have done the boat to the trailhead and the hike over the hill. Both are beautiful and interesting. It's a great adventure!

[@karlsthailand]

It's an almost perfect hike isn't it Rick? I'll try the boat next time. Hope you are both well, cheers

[@mrdoodle8748]

Thanks Karl, you videos never fail to inspire the love of the great Thai outdoors. Can't wait to get my arse over there to see some of it.

[@karlsthailand]

My pleasure. Hopefully my videos will help you to get more from your visits here. Cheers

[@jimshelley8831]

I wish my Thai was as good as yours Karl.

[@karlsthailand]

I’ve had plenty of time to practise Jim. Cheers

[@karlsthailand]

I’ve had plenty of time to practise Jim. Cheers.

[@MrSchijtzooi]

Thanks Karl.

[@karlsthailand]

My pleasure. Cheers

[@thethailandtravellers]

Thank you for the beautiful video Karl! We visited this cave 5 years ago and loved it a lot! We just like you did the hike over the mountain😊👍 Will visit it again this year Oktober❤ Cheers and take care!

[@karlsthailand]

Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve been there 5 times now. Great hike. Cheers

[@ErikaSmolka]

Was there in march,beautiful👌🇹🇭🙏,I took the boat 😃

[@karlsthailand]

I quite enjoy hiking that section but can understand the appeal of the boat. I'll try it myself next time. Cheers

[@larsbildat8526]

I visited this nice place Christmas 2022

[@karlsthailand]

Best time of year for light quality in the cave. Cheers

[@jke360]

Another cracking video Karl. Been to Hua hin and Pratchup many times but l didn't know about this hike definitely on my to do list now. Love the conversations with the Thai people Thanks Karl.

[@karlsthailand]

Glad you enjoyed it. Lots of people say that they enjoy those interactions so I will try to initiate them more often in the future. Cheers

[@keithmuckchucker6468]

WOW this is one we have actually done! nearly killed me tho, and we took the boat around to the beach! it is good tho and well worth the walk

[@keithd1219]

Same here....sprained both ankles also. The Rangers were all sniffing ammonia 😅

[@karlsthailand]

That's a shame, yes it's easy to twist something on that rock. Cheers

[@ChasingDreamsInThailand]

I’ll definitely be doing that one. About 45 minutes from me. Probably wait until winter time though. Lol

[@karlsthailand]

Winter is the best time to see it. Start hiking by 9am to catch the light in the cave (on a sunny day) at it's best. Cheers

[@gregoryfrancisjames5071]

I did this one last week Karl - the shorter route. I'd advise people wear sensible shoes and take a bottle of water. Coming down can be more difficult than climbing - especially if there has been rain.

[@karlsthailand]

That's good advice Greg, that rock can be pretty sharp and the heat can be intense. Cheers

[@Kwippy]

Crucial tip: visit this cave in the morning, so that the pavilion will be lit by sunlight, it will look magical. In the afternoon the pavilion will be in the shade

[@karlsthailand]

Yes, 10am to Midday in the Thai Cool Season as I wrote in the video. Truly magical as you say

[@CJINPARADISE]

Been there a few times and hope to go again. Great day you had Karl and Brian. We both said the same thing when Karl and I meet subscribe subscribe. haha

[@karlsthailand]

Definitely a great day hike….just hard enough and very rewarding if you time it right. Cheers

[@lmarcus8697]

If I do one of Karls hikes and it does me in . On my grave stone it’s going to read “ Karl Did Me In.”

[@karlsthailand]

Lol. I'd rate this one as pretty easy tbh although the climb is a bit steep. Cheers

[@jke360]

[@chriswilliamson590]

I really do plan to visit this cave on my next visit. I don’t ever rent a bike in Thailand. Are there busses or tour companies from Hua Hin to this National Park? A great video and great channel. Hello from Sheffield, England. 👍🏼

[@karlsthailand]

There are probably tours available but I don’t know of any. I would say it’s worth renting a car for the day and combining the hike with something like the Khao Daeng viewpoint or the Bueng Bua boardwalk/boat tour. Thank you

[@chriswilliamson590]

@@karlsthailand that’s great. I will look in to it 👍🏼 thank you

[@karlsthailand]

I have done videos for them both but you will have to look back a way through my videos. Have a great trip

[@donaldcroom1483]

beautiful cave. surprised that bats have not discovered. wondering if parks have used a "pests" preventer for such spots.

[@keithd1219]

No bats there

[@karlsthailand]

I never actually looked for any bats but I'd be surprised if there aren't some there. Cheers
