300 Peaks National Park, Thailand

As I mentioned here, we went on a short boat ride to arrive at 300 Peaks National Park.  Or Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park for short.  When we arrived, there was a sandy beach and a little visitors center where you could get a bite to eat or sit in the shade.

There are many things to do here, but one of the items I recommend is to check out some of the caves nearby.  So you walk up a mountain on one of the well marked trails.

And once you've walked up, you can start to walk down into one of the large caverns.  The trail is well defined, but be careful with loose rocks as others may be walking on the trail below you.

And when you arrive, you just might see a little something like this inside.  It is huge inside of here.  And yes, that is a bunch of trees growing inside of a mountain.  Check out the people walking in the middle of the beam of light to get a better idea of the scale of this place.  I had never seen anything like it before in my life.  Our group was giddy as we walked around and checked it out.

According to what I've read, there was a service in this space which was attended by the king.  He was bit by a mosquito and died of malaria shortly after.
