“Nang Phaya hill view point, space to sit and relax, to take pictures.”
Noen Nangphaya Viewpoint is situated on a seaside hill in the Na Yai Am district of Chanthaburi Province. It is considered a major landmark and the most beautiful viewpoint in the Eastern region. Noen Nangphaya is part of the Chalerm Burapha Chonlathit Road, which has been selected by the Tourism Authority of Thailand as one of the Dream Destinations that must be visited at least once.
The defining feature of the view here is the clear panorama of the curving coastal road stretching parallel to the horizon. This iconic image of the curved road is memorable and has been used in several advertisements. The area is located between Kung Wiman Beach and Kung Krabaen Bay, offering a vast, wide-angle view of the sea.
The viewpoint area has been improved with full amenities, such as a parking lot and clean, wide stairs leading up to the viewing platform. The atmosphere here is shady with a constant sea breeze. Noen Nangphaya is highly popular for watching the sunset, where the changing colors of the sky contrasting with the mountains create a deeply impressive scene.
