A temple on a headland
The Thailand Tourism Directory describes Khao Takiab as a small hill projecting into the sea, with a temple and a large Buddha in the posture of restraining relatives. The hill is a viewpoint as much as a religious stop.
Wat Khao Takiab
Wat Khao Takiab occupies the rocky headland at the southern end of Hua Hin Beach. The visit combines a temple climb, a large Buddha image, sea views and monkeys that require practical caution.
Allow for stairs and monkeys
Hua Hin's local guide warns that the steps are steep and that many monkeys live around the temple. Keep food and loose belongings secured, and choose a slower ascent if you are travelling with older visitors. Give worshippers and animals space.
