Why should you go there and how do you do it right?
The best time to come is in the morning. The gates open at 8:30 a.m., and for the first hour or two the forest is still cool, the macaques are active, and the hornbills are calling loudly. By midday, the trails are strenuous, and the wildlife has understandably become quieter. Therefore, I would recommend planning this as a half-day trip rather than extending it.
The park is named after two of its peaks and covers a significant portion of Phang-nga province. It offers rainforest, mangroves, hilltop viewpoints, and beaches on the Andaman side that are considerably quieter than those further south along the coast. It's small enough to be thoroughly explored in one visit, which I believe is its greatest strength. Start at the visitor center near the entrance to learn about the ecology, and then choose a hiking trail.
Wear sturdy footwear. The forest paths become muddy during the wet months, roughly from May to October, when everything is green but the sea is rough. The period from November to April is better suited for both hiking and swimming.
