The park is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To get there, take a taxi or a songthaew from Trang, about 20 km away; renting a scooter is recommended if you are adventurous. You can find more details on Trang's official tourism website at www.trang.go.th.
Admission costs approximately 50 Thai baht for adults and 20 baht for children, although it may vary; it is very affordable and does not require advance booking. Check updated prices in visitor reviews on TripAdvisor.
A typical visit lasts between 1 and 2 hours, enough time to explore the rock formations and sculpture gardens. If you want photos and a relaxed walk, allow at least 90 minutes so you do not have to rush.
Created in the 1980s by a local artist, the park represents harmony between stone and water, inspired by Thai and Buddhist myths. It is a cultural site that celebrates Thai creativity and attracts visitors for its spiritual serenity.
The best time is from November to February, during the dry season, when the weather is cool and sunny. Go early in the morning to avoid the heat and enjoy the natural light on the rocks; afternoons can be hotter.
The park has paved paths in the main areas, but some sections are uneven due to the natural formations, which may be challenging for wheelchairs. It is recommended to contact the park at +66 75 219 000 for assistance or adapted routes.
Nearby you will find the Khao Kob waterfalls and the Chang Puak shrine, ideal for a full day out. Pak Meng Beach is also about 30 minutes away by car, perfect for combining nature and relaxation.
Bring insect repellent, water, and comfortable walking shoes; do not forget sunscreen because there is little shade. Hire a local guide if you want interesting stories, and visit in a group for extra safety on the trails.
