Khao Takiab Mountain in Hua Hin

Khao Takiab Mountain and Temple (also Monkey Mountain) although it is called monkey Mountain, they have not been left here for a long time. Or rather, there is almost none left. Only a few elderly monkeys live in a frame on the top of the mountain.

But the mountain is interesting, first of all, not by monkeys, but by several religious buildings located on it. On the mountainside facing Hua Hin is a 20-meter Buddha statue. And if you walk or drive further up the mountain, at its top at an altitude of 272 meters you can see the Thai-Chinese temple Wat Khao Lat. There are also several observation decks on the mountain, which offer views of the Hua Hin coast.

The mountain is located on the southern border of Hua Hin, and south of the mountain along the coast stretches a great quiet beach with palm trees Khao Takiab Beach. At the entrance to the mountain there is a market where you can eat fresh seafood.

In general, this place occupies a worthy position among all attractions of Hua Hin and we definitely recommend visiting it. Which is very good, there is a temple in Hua Hin itself, and you can reach it during a leisurely walk along the beach.

🕐 Working hours

Around the clock, the temple works only during the daytime.

💵Entrance fee / ticket price

Free of charge, donations are welcome.

🚶 How to get there

It is very easy to get to the mountain, because at the base of the mountain there is the end point of fixed-route taxis moving from Hua Hin Airport through the whole city to the south. The fare starts from 20 baht. The cost of a taxi from the city to here will cost 150 baht (4.5 USD, see Thailand's currency and exchange rate). Further up the mountain you will have to climb on foot, the climb starts right from the beach. Another ascent to the second temple is located a little further from the beach, and you can even get there by transport. Khao Takiab Mountain on the map
