Be sure to pack everything out with you to help preserve the pristine environment. In summary, this viewpoint is a must-visit for anyone who loves natural beauty, quiet moments, and panoramic views. Highly recommended!

Blissful temple. They have a view point for an amazing sunrise. There were no other visitors at our 6am trip and a couple more at the time we were leaving. Lots of parking at the temple. And it feels blissful. There is a large crocodile statue as well, to signify that they were common in this area in the past.

What a great find. Even though I was there at the weekend there was no one else around, didn't even see any monks around the few huts walking down towards the viewpoint, just a few dogs resting in the shade. You get a good view of the river, small marina, and the mangroves of Pranburi Forest Park.
