Khao Takiap/Khao Krailat

Khao Takiap and Khao Krailat are two hills located just four km to the south of Hua Hin. The two hills resemble the four-sided blunt ends of chopsticks.

The more famous of the two, Khao Takiap (or 'chopstick hill') is located right on the seashore. A road leads up to a hilltop temple, Wat Khao Takiap. Khao Takiap is covered with small pagodas and shrines and offers a good view over Hua Hin and the coastline from the top.

A local minibus service runs along the shore between Hua Hin and Khao Takiap. A variety of bungalow and resort accommodations, ranging from economy through to luxury, are available at nearby Khao Takiap Beach. The fishing village of Khao Takiap located at the foot of the hill is a good spot to buy locally caught seafood or to hire a boat taxi.
