KHAO HIN LEK FAI VIEWPOINT [ HUA HIN 2024] #1

Khao Hin Lek Fai is around 163m high and is a magnificent place to spend an hour or two viewing Hua Hin and its surroundings. As you enter the enormous car park, the map on the right shows you have a selection of 6 viewing points, though viewpoint 1 no longer appears to exist.
Around 50m from the car park, you encounter a large stone tablet by some trees. The tablet has an image of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX). In front of the tablet is a large number 987. This is to indicate the number of the Royal Development Project. King Bhumibol created over 4,000 projects throughout Thailand; everything from irrigation to land conservation, cloud seeding, and water management. The grounds in this central area feature beautifully manicured gardens. This is where viewing points 4, 5 & 6 are located within close proximity. Point 4 is directly opposite the gardens and a statue of King Prajadhipok (Rama VII), with his face gazing over the city he loved so much.
