Hua Hin Municipality has held a meeting and carried out inspections in a bid to address the ongoing issues of macaques in Hin Lek Fai, Khao Takiab, and near some beachside communities.
This goal is to reduce the disturbances caused by the macaques, which have been a source of trouble for local residents and tourists.
Khao Takiab, dubbed ‘monkey mountain’ by locals, as well as Hin Lek Fai, are two locations in Hua Hin known for the population of macaques.
Among the proposals put forward include the construction of a shelter to house the macaques at Hin Lek Fai.
Mr. Nopporn Wuttikul, Mayor of Hua Hin, presided over a working group meeting to discuss the design of the shelter. The meeting was attended by Mr. Jeerawat Pramanee, Municipal Clerk and Deputy Head of the Working Group, Mr. Kalayut Kuyukam, Director of the Engineering Office, and Mr. Surasak Anumethangkul, Director of the Wildlife Conservation Division, Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, Phetchaburi Branch, along with other relevant staff members.
During the meeting, the group considered the renovation of the old bird cage on Khao Hin Lek Fai to create a large, stable and suitable environment for the macaques. Plans include enlarging the pond and adding various hanging objects inside the cage to accommodate the macaques. The aim is to create a suitable habitat that can help modify the macaques behaviour and reduce their disruptive activities around Khao Hin Lek Fai.
The group also discussed measures to address the problem of aggressive macaques descending from the mountain into the Khao Takiab community. These macaques have been causing significant distress to residents and tourists by damaging roofs and property. It was suggested that capturing and removing the dominant macaques from the area could help reduce these disturbances. Plans were made to inspect the area and develop further action plans.
Meanwhile, a group of macaques have also been seen in the seaside community close to Hua Hin fishing pier.
The Mayor assigned Ms. Bussaba Choksuchart, Deputy Mayor of Hua Hin, along with Ms. Nonglak Phadungthot, Municipal Council Member, and officials from the Social Welfare Division, to visit the seaside community.
They were accompanied by Mr. Surasak Anumethangkul and the operations team from the Phetchaburi Branch of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation.
The team surveyed the area and gathered information from residents who reported that 10-20 macaques had descended from Khao Hin Lek Fai and refused to return to the mountain.
Initial plans involve inspecting the area to identify locations for setting traps to capture the dominant macaques and remove them from the community, with the goal of driving the remaining macaques back to Khao Hin Lek Fai.
The news comes after Hua Hin Today recently heard from a resident in Khao Takiab who said that the macaques have become a daily nuisance, causing damage to property, stealing food, and even engaging in fights.
The issues caused by the macaques have led to increased fear and inconvenience among the community. A number of people have left the area, having already chosen not to renew their rental contracts, while other residents are considering moving out.
Macaques are classified as protected wildlife in Thailand under the Wildlife Preservation and Protection Act, B.E. 2562 (2019).
Hua Hin district is said to be home to as many as 5,000 macaque monkeys, according to the last official survey. Since 2019, the Hua Hin Municipality said it has financially supported the sterilisation of 3,300 macaques.

This weekend brings another public holiday and with that sees Khao Lom Muak open to climbers.
Khao Lom Muak – which offers some of the most spectacular views in the province – is open July 27, 28, 29 (Sat, Sun, Mon).
The viewpoint is located approximately 98km from central Hua Hin and takes around 1.5 hours to drive there by car.
Tourists are also invited to climb Khao Lom Muak at Wing 5 to pay respects to the left footprint of the Lord Buddha. This sacred site, located at an elevation of 902 feet, offers some of the most stunning views in the province, including the picturesque Ao Manao and its surrounding areas.
Khao Lom Muak is accessible to the public only during long weekends or national holidays. At the summit, visitors can find a replica of the Buddha’s left footprint housed in a mandapa, along with sacred Buddha images. This site has been a place of worship and reverence since its accidental discovery in 1989 by Wing 5 personnel.
default Group Captain Santat Wongtip, then commander of Wing 5, discovered the footprint while looking for stones to use as a base for a Buddha image. When five stones were placed together, they formed the shape of the Buddha’s left footprint. The Department of Fine Arts later confirmed that the footprint was created during the reign of King Rama IV.
In 1998, Air Chief Marshal Thirasilp Kampirayanon, then commander of the Air Operations Command, commissioned the construction of the mandapa to house the footprint, enshrined Buddha relics, and other significant Buddha images.
Climbing Khao Lom Muak is a challenging activity that requires physical and mental preparation. Climbers must wear gloves and sneakers and be ready to ascend 496 steps followed by a rope climb with inclines ranging from 45 to 90 degrees. The climb takes approximately two hours. It is important to note that drone flying and photography near the airport are prohibited, and climbers are expected to take their trash down with them.
Tourists can request a commemorative certificate at the registration point for a fee of 40 baht. Climbing is permitted only from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM to avoid high temperatures and ensure the safety of soldiers stationed at the peak. All climbers must descend by 12:00 PM.
Google Maps location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/VvGBEs53DXU1iP7U6
Key information for climbing Khao Lom Muak:
- Open to both Thai nationals and foreigners.
- Access begins at 5:45 AM.
- On-site registration only; no pre-booking available.
- Service fee of 40 Baht per person.
- Climbing hours: 6:00 AM – 10:00 AM.
- Notify officials in advance if you want a certificate of completion.
- Climbing is prohibited after 10:00 AM.
- Only suitable footwear such as sneakers/trainers allowed. No sandals or flip-flops.
- Tourists interested can travel from the Prachuap Khiri Khan Provincial Hall along Salachip Road towards the entrance of Wing 5, and then follow the designated road to the activity area at Khao Lom Muak, a journey of about 10 minutes.
Of course this isn’t the only footprint of Buddha that can be seen in the province.
Nearby to Khao Lom Muak is the large temple that overlooks Prachuap Bay, Wat Thammikaram Worawihan.
You may well have visited or probably have seen pictures of Prachuap’s famous temple.
At the summit Khao Chong Krachok, inside Wat Thammikaram Worawihan there is a replica of the Lord Buddha’s right footprint and enshrined Buddha relics at the top of the pagoda. Visitors wishing to pay homage must climb the 396 steps to reach the top of Khao Chong Krachok. Just watch out for the monkeys.

Prachuap Khiri Khan officials participated in a teleconference led by national Ombudsman Songsak Saicheua to address the issue of foreign land ownership through local nominees.
The teleconference, broadcast from Surat Thani Provincial Hall in June, also included officials from Phuket, Surat Thani, Krabi, and Phang Nga provinces.
The practice of foreigners using nominees to hold land ownership, which is prohibited under the Foreign Business Act of 1999, has raised concerns about its potential impact on the national economy.
Violators of this act face up to three years in prison and fines up to 2 million baht.
Mr. Songsak noted that the Ombudsman’s Office is conducting investigations using various sources, including related laws, research, media reports, field visits, and meetings with relevant agencies and experts.
Mr. Songsak called on provincial officials and agencies, including the Region 4 branch of the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc), provincial branches of the Lands Department, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Revenue Department, to provide information on actions taken against disguised agents of foreigners in their areas.
The teleconference follows a series of intensified crackdowns on foreigners using nominees to set up companies. In recent raids, 98 foreigners, mostly Russians, were among 231 suspects arrested, with assets worth over 1.5 billion baht seized.
The loophole allowing foreigners to ‘own’ land in Thailand through local nominees is a practice that has long been illegal but is widespread.

A goat farm located behind Pranburi Dam has become a popular new attraction for visitors looking for a unique experience near Hua Hin.
The farm offers picturesque views that have drawn numerous Thai visitors eager to capture the perfect photo with the resident goats.
Every day, a local farmer leads his goats down to the water’s edge at Pranburi Dam, creating a scenic backdrop of clear skies, green grass, and mountainous landscapes that locals have compared to something like a scene out Switzerland. While that might be pushing it a stretch, this setting, combined with the playful nature of the goats, has made the farm a hit on social media.
“Let’s Go” series to spotlight places to visit in Phetchaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan
The farm is free to enter, but visitors are encouraged to support the operation by purchasing goat food. Bundles of lead tree branches are available for 20 THB each, and bottles of milk for feeding the goats are also priced at 20 THB.

At the entrance, visitors will find a dirt road leading to the farm, where the stunning scenery immediately captures their attention.
Once on-site, visitors can buy goat food and head to the waterfront area, where the goats eagerly gather to be fed. This interactive experience allows for fun and engaging photos, as the goats compete for food from visitors’ hands. There are also sheep at the farm, which are equally approachable and photogenic.
The farm is open daily from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM and provides ample parking. For more information, visitors can contact the farm directly at 095-3968874.
