About Chomthong Pier - boat trips to Kissing Cave
The draw here is a short boat ride that feels bigger than it is. You push off through calm water and lotus fields, and at the end there's Kissing Cave, named for the two rock forms that lean toward each other. The cave only has room for one boat at a time, which sounds like a bottleneck but mostly means you get it to yourself. There's a Buddhist shrine at the far end, and a newer boat installed inside the cave so you can move about and take photos without bringing your own vessel in.
Boat hire runs 600 baht round-trip for up to four people, so it's cheap split between a group and still fair on your own. Late afternoon, around 4:30pm, gets you softer light and less heat. Worth knowing that foreigners pay 200 baht for park entry against 40 baht for Thais, which annoys some people and is a fact of Thai national parks.

Very pretty when we went (4:30pm), the guide was friendly and helpful. They built a new boat inside the cave so you don’t need to take the boat inside - which is very convenient for pictures. Not too hot on that day, pretty views.
KISSING CAVE 4.4 stars One of three national park stops we did on Friday, February 21, 2025 with a couple of friends. GENERAL - National Parks open at 0800. FEE - National Park tickets are 200 baht per person. Tickets are good for most national parks visited same day. The boat ride cost 600baht round trip for a max of 4 people. CAVE - The cave is only big enough for 1 boat, but there were no other boats when we were out (our driver said this is a less known place to visit). Once in the cave, we exited the boat onto a tiny dock and then walked a few steps into the small cave to view the kissing rocks from inside looking out. MONKEYS - We were then taken to see monkeys at a temple site. These are not the typical Macaque monkeys we’ve encountered across Thailand, but rather Langur monkeys, whose markings make them appear teddy bear-like. So cute! TIMING - The entire trip took about 1 hour. RECOMMEND - yes, esp if you can combine this stop with at least one other national park visit same day. Gorgeous scenery.
