Drove to Phraya Nakhon Cave ticket office. (decided to take the shorter hike to the cave.
I was 72 wife 62) Walked through knee high water to jump on the boat to Laem Sala Beach around the bend. Memorable scenic Gulf of Thailand views views. Enjoyed the serene Laem Sala (sp?) Beach walk before and after our struggling hike to the cavernous cave. The royal visited shrine. Stayed long enough to brave the hike down. Incredible views looking down upon the Gulf. Met monkeys along the way sitting munching on fruit. Quietly observing heavy breathing hikers. Boats awaited us to return back to our car. Should have worn hiking shoes. Recommend for hiker types.
