So, the park ranger from Phu Pha Man took me for a ride. A ride to visit the 70-meter high Tat Rong waterfall borders Phu Kradueng National Park and Phu Pha Man National Park. A folk tale says the waterfall can sing as water runs upon a piece of thin stone, the falling water veers off into different rock holes nearby and fills the forest with strange sounds.
We then went to the quirky but impressive Suan Hin Pha Ngam. This park has limestone “mountains” that have eroded over time to form interesting shapes, somewhat similar to that in Kunming in China.
A path winds through the rocks (up, down, and around) for about three kilometers or so. The path takes visitors to the top of the rock (great views) to the lovely Suan Hom, and to Phiang Din Waterfalls.

Visitors can take a slow ride in a Kubota taek-taek to the start of the path or walk the two kilometer stretch - thus making the total distance to walk around five kilometers. I opted to walk.
The park is not that easy to find. Most signs are in Thai, but a few point towards a "Rock Garden". The park lies around 20 kilometer west of Highway No. 201.
On the way back to civilization, the ranger suggested that I paid dinner at a place nick-named “Pattaya 2”, but I declined that opportunity
