A steep 500 m climb from headquarters to a limestone summit (Pha Jun Jaras) with the whole archipelago spread below: the park's main attraction and one of the great views of the Gulf.

Practical

Position is the OSM viewpoint node; five numbered resting points are mapped on the trail. thainationalparks.com: 500 m, 25-30 minutes, steep, with rope sections; Southeast Asia Pilot says about 45 minutes and 345 steps. Wear proper shoes and carry water; the last section is sharp limestone. Go at 8am when the trail opens, before the heat and the tour groups.
