Lovely campsite & lovely view. Quietness.
Amazing view with plenty of spaces. Park rangers are always on patrol and medical room is available on site. Charging ports available but very limited. Shower rooms and toilets are OK for outdoor camping site. Shops nearby to stock up on snacks and basic essentials. Overall, had a positive experience
Really great spot for birdwarchers. Nearby is nice path for walking. But you pay 100 baht entrance fee for no place without ANY information. Everything is no possible. You can't get inside NP. Sad. I do not recomended.
