Loading the map…
The three stops on this ride sit close together in the hills on the Rayong and Chonburi border, two hours east of Pattaya, which makes it a ride of two halves: a fast run out on the motorway and Route 344, then a slow afternoon of short hops between a waterfall, a cave temple and the Black Naga. Do the waterfall first while the day is cool and you can still face the walk up. The guide to the Khao Chamao loop has the detail on each stop; this is the road.
