The mainland trailhead and fee checkpoint for the Khao Hong Nak viewpoint hike within the Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park boundary in Nong Thale, Krabi — not on the Phi Phi Islands themselves. The hike from this checkpoint climbs through jungle to a hilltop viewpoint over the mangrove-edged coast and inland karst landscape of Krabi Province. Foreigners pay ฿200 at the gate. The trail is short (1–2 km to the summit) but steep in sections; best done in the cooler morning hours to avoid the midday heat.
Highlights
Hilltop views over Krabi's mangroves and limestone karsts
Short jungle hike with a clear summit reward
Inside Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park — accessible from the mainland
