A steep, rough trail leads to this viewpoint, which offers fine vistas over the peninsula. The trail is halfway along the path linking Hat Railay East to Hat Phra Nang. Note that the first section involves a 10-minute uphill climb (with ropes for assistance). Turn left at the fork for the viewpoint.
