Phraya Nakhon Cave, Limestone cave in Sam Roi Yot National Park, Thailand.

The cave features two connected chambers with openings in the ceiling that allow natural light to penetrate the limestone formations below.

A local ruler discovered the cave 200 years ago while seeking shelter from a storm along the coast of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province.

King Chulalongkorn commissioned the construction of Khuha Kharuehat Pavilion inside the cave in 1890, marking the site with royal significance.

Visitors can reach the cave through a 430-meter hiking trail from Laem Sala Beach or by taking a boat ride to the starting point.

The morning sunlight streams through the cave's ceiling openings, casting natural spotlights on the Thai-style pavilion within the limestone chamber.
