Khao Ta Muen Ni is 50km south of Chumphon town. Take Highway 41 for 36km. At the bridge across the Sawi river take the U turn and head north for 500m, taking the first road to the left. Follow this road for 5 km and turn left, heading for Nasak. After 500m you will come to a tee junction where you have to turn right. After 3 km turn left.
This road skirts the eastern/southern side of Khao Ta Muen Ni and after 3 Km you should see the sign on the right for the road/track up to the viewpoint.
A 4 wheel drive truck can easily get to the top but despite concrete tracks considered the last part too steep for our car. At this difficult point there is an area at the side of the track where you can park your car.
The walk to the viewpoint from here is about 400m. It takes you through a rubber plantation and always amazed at how the farmers can work on these steep slopes.
Even before you get to the top the views are rather good.
At the top you are on the ridge of the hill so you get almost a 360 degree panoramic view.
There is an observation deck.
From the observation deck there is a path that takes you up to the peak of Khao Ta Muen Ni.
This path continues further along the ridge to a second peak. A rope guides the way.
Might be worth bring a picnic whereby you can enjoy the view while you eat. There are shaded tables and chairs, together with toilets.
