Mirror
Mountain (or 'Khao Chong Krajok') is one of the many sites
in the vicinity of Ao Manao. To get there, turn left before
Manao Bay and you'll see it to the rear of the provincial
office. The small hill has a temple on top that can be reached
on foot via the steps up the hill. The temple enshrines a
Buddha image and a Buddha footprint. On the north side, a
depression in the hilltop gives an unusual mirror-like image
of the two bays of Ao Manao and Ao Prachuab.
