Ratchaburi - Pong Yup

Pong Yup is like in Phae Muang Phi in Phrae and Lalu in Sa Kaeo, but much smaller.

Moreover, it is on private land, so there is a fee to be paid. Inspired by the Thai government's policy at national parks, the land owners have decided to charge Westerners a lot more then Asians.  After paying the fee, you are left to your own devices; there are no guided tours.

However, as the area is quite small, completing the path around the area is done in less than ten minutes even at a very leisurely pace. Like the other places, erosion has left behind some earthen pillars, but more impressive are the mini-canyons.

All in all, this destination is not a must-see, but as it is only roughly 5 km from Suan Pheung town, it is not a major detour to stop by.
