Be Amazed by Phraya Nakhon Cave

One of the most magical sights you can see in Sam Roi Yot, if not the whole of Thailand, is when the light shines through a cavern illuminating a royal throne inside Phraya Nakhon Cave. It is a large cavern located deep in the mountain inside Sam Roi Yot National Park and you will have to take a boat and hike through a forest to get to the cavern.

Once inside you will find an elaborately designed royal throne surrounded by overgrown trees right under the cave's skylight. If you want to see the throne illuminated by a ray of sunlight through the skylight, you will need to be at the cave around 9 - 10 AM. The sun should align perfectly above the ceiling which should shine right perfectly where the throne is. Since the cave is part of Sam Roi Yot National Park, you are going to have to pay the entrance fee of 200 THB (40 THB for Thais) if you haven't done so yet. Phraya Nakhon Cave opens between 8 AM and 4 PM every day.
