Prepare 2-3 hrs to take your time and hike the entire loop. Or just 1hr if you’re just hanging around the temple, see the bridge and ancient trees.

Durian fruit is popular...

Next to the temple is a clear steam that comes from Khao Banchob waterfall, you can cross it by small wooden bridge and enjoy great nature view from here. spending time here around one hour dress politely (not to short, over the knee, or no...
