A mid-trail rest platform on the Khao Ngon Nak (Dragon Crest Mountain) hiking trail in Krabi, roughly halfway up the 3.8 km climb to the summit. Sweeping views over the coastal mangroves, Tubkaek Beach, and the offshore karsts open up here before the trail steepens for the final push to the top. A natural break point with shade; many hikers pause here and turn back if the upper section looks too steep. Entry fee is the same as the full trail: ฿200 for foreigners, paid at the trailhead. Best visited early morning to avoid the worst of the heat.
Highlights
Coastal and karst views without the full summit climb
Shaded rest area with bench seating
Natural turnaround point for less experienced hikers
