Dragon Crest Mountain

Our VRBO host recommended this hike to us and we are so glad he did! He made sure to tell us to start in the morning because we didn't want to still be in the forest past 5pm as it gets dark in there. We booked it up to the top so we hiked it pretty quickly. We packed lots of water and we were glad we did! We spent about an hour on top of the mountain because the views were breathtaking. There's a ledge that you can climb out to but there's only a rope to hold onto. On the way down we took the little detour to see the waterfall, it wasn't as cool as expected but it was still fun to see. Highly recommend hiking this mountain if you are visiting the area.

It was not a tough or technical hike but it’s not a short one either! It helped that the trail is largely in the shade…makes it a bit easier. Do not hike in flip flops. The view points were mainly near the top and very very impressive. It’s worth walking around a little at the the top as there are a few view points so you can always find a private spot for yourself. Bring lots of water…it’s going to take at least 3 hours for return!

Arduous hike that took 6 hours to complete a round trip. Terrain is steep, extremely uneven and there are large logs, tree logs and broken staircases along the way. View from the summit was somewhat worth?? the journey but highly recommend to avoid if you are not wearing appropriate hiking gear or hungry. Bring at least 2L of water!!! Avoid if you are wearing slippers, or pay for a good thai massage afterwards.

Love this mountain! I ran 17km from Ao Nang beach to this beautiful place. Strenuous uphill with bits of SHAKY stairs, please wear proper footwear u0026 carry at least 2L of water. I drank 2.5L for round trip. Uphill straight to the summit took 90mins, downhill RUN including a detour to the peaceful waterfall (source of the stream u see at entry) total distance ard 9km which took me 3hrs. Well worth the 200thb entry fee for tourists. Opens 8am-2pm (last entry at 2pm). There’s a snack stall selling drinks before u start. I look forward to come back again

Challenging but worth it! The view is truly amazing and many interesting things to observe along the way.

P.s. Please prepare big bottle of water and some snacks when you reach the top cause you’re gonna sweat a lot .

Very good hike even tough a bit challenging and you'll sweat a lot as the humidity is very high. Make sure you bring enough water and wear tight shoes - the way is sometimes a bit challenging. So worth it tho!????

Not an easy hike, but definitely worth it. The view is amazing and the nature is beautiful there. It took us about 3,5 hours to get to the view point and come back
