About Tha Yang
Where to stay in Tha Yang
Tha Yang town centre. The area around the railway station and Phetkasem Road has the highest concentration of shops, markets and guesthouses, and is convenient for transport and everyday amenities.
Kaeng Krachan area. Accommodations near the national park headquarters and reservoir, west of town, suit visitors who want early access to the park and its waterfalls.
Ban Lat and the coast. East of Tha Yang towards the Gulf, the rural sub-districts of Ban Lat and Laem Phak Bia offer a quieter, coastal setting with salt flats and seafood restaurants.
Getting there and around
Tha Yang is on the Southern Line railway from Bangkok's Thonburi station; the journey takes around three hours. Buses and minivans run from Bangkok's Sai Tai Mai terminal to Phetchaburi and continue south along Phetkasem Road. By car, take Highway 4 (Phetkasem Road) south from Bangkok. Local transport within the district relies on songthaews and motorbike taxis; having your own vehicle is useful for reaching Kaeng Krachan National Park and the coast.
When to go
The best time to visit Tha Yang is during the cool, dry months from November to February, when temperatures are more comfortable for exploring Kaeng Krachan National Park and the surrounding countryside. The rainy season from May to October brings lush scenery but can make forest trails slippery and some park facilities may be closed. March and April are hot and humid.
