A very popular tourist attraction and worth a couple of hours of your time, its a steep road up to the top but once your there the view is magnificent and the temple just down the road is very impressive too. watch out for hundreds of monkeys, which you can feed by buying bananas or monkey nuts.... they will climb...

This is the most beautiful place in Thailand. Personally, I'd go so far as to say the world. Surrounded by woodland and scrub land, Takiab is a treasure. Beware of the monkeys, don't attempt to play with them as they are NOT pets. You can buy nuts to feed them but I wouldn't advise that as it only causes a... More

If you happen to be visiting this temple or the mountain side,please do not feed the monkeys,they are not hungry,they are just monkeys so the more you feed them the more aggressive they become.They never stop eating and they would snatch anything from your hand if you're not aware so just don't buy any peanuts or bananas,just enjoy the view

Quiet, water a little dirty. A bit out of the way. Have to take a taxi from city centre. No waves. Good hotels near this beach.

The view of the Ocean Perfect, walk past the monkey food station and visit the beautiful Chinese Temple with paintings and porcelain or ceramic buildings that are bright and vibrant.. A monkey bath area is funny.. Monkey mess is minimal, when you consider that you can see hundred's of Monkey. Do not feed the Monkey, Do not carry food in... More

The area is very dirty and unkept. There is a lot of monkeys around and you half to watch your belongings at all times. There is a person there you can buy bananas to feed them but would recommend against it since they can get very crazy as soon as they see it. As for the view there is not... More

Prior reviews pretty much sum this place up: very unkempt, temple ordinary, monkeys everywhere. The view at the top is nice though, as you can see the fishing village and Hua Hin beach. Worthwhile to pay the shopkeeper at the bottom a few hundred baht to watch her feed the monkeys. Take a taxi or tuk-tuk to get there, though,... More

Chopsticks Hill (or monkey mountain) is worth a visit. There are cute little monkeys everywhere so take your camera. The problem with this place is that it is extremely untidy and dirty. The loal obviously don't care about it a long as the tourists come.

The monkeys up here are brilliant to watch. I managed to walk up the steps but was not allowed into the temple. I remembered to wear a long dress as advised, but apparently you need to cover your shoulders too, so women, please remember to take something to cover yourself.
