This vast cavern high on a hill with a royal history is a favorite destination for visitors to the park. This cave actually had two large sinkholes, the roofs of which have collapsed allowing sunlight and rain to reach the floor, where trees have rooted reaching for the ceiling. The cave was named for Phraya Nakhon a former ruler who discovered it over 200 years ago after being forced ashore by a violent storm. The central focus within the cave is a four-gabled roofed pavilion bathed by natural sunlight, which was built for the visit of King Rama V on June 20th 1890. This royal pavilion has become the symbol of the province of Prachuap Khiri Khan. King Rama VII visited the cave in June 1926, and one can view the autographs left by both kings on the walls. Phraya Nakhon Cave can be reached from Laem Sala Beach, by a steep rocky trail, 430 m. long and rising to a height of 130 m.
