Wat Tham Phra (Buddha Cave Temple)

5 Mads D (SiamPictures. com) - 8 months ago

The temple is located down to the river and has a platform overlooking the river with a large Buddha statue on it.

But the main attraction, if you can call it that, is the cave where there are many Buddha statues.

If you're in the area anyway, there is a second cave not far away. It's a bit more "Indiana Jones" search for "Buddha Image Cave" and you'll find it

A very beautiful and peaceful cave temple by the river a little way out of town. Well worth a visit.
The steps up to the temple/cave entrance are fairly steep and not really suitable for the disabled, although relatively short.

A solid 4.0
It’s quite cool at first. You go inside a cave that has the Buddha’s and gongs. Lots of bats in the cave. Sadly did not see any monkeys. Only need to go there once, very cool. In addition, I would recommend taking a scooter to the destination because the view is amazing.

Amazing cave, amazing area! Really beautiful! It is not only the cave, but the kitties, the path around and the river at the back of it. Very relaxing. The day I went it was only me and a Monk taking care of the place, nobody else! Just make sure you have a way to go back to the city, as you may not find a Grab. I almost got in trouble for not having how to go back to my hostel. It is like a rural area. But it is a must go, definitely.

Pretty cool and creepy place to visit. Recommend if you're riding a scooter because the ride there is pretty nice as it is in the countryside. There are bats in the cave which is attended by a lone monk. The path by the river leads to a big Buddha overlooking the Kok river which is pretty cool. It's nothing fantastic, but nice to go to if you have time.

A nice place to visit, quiet without the normal tourist crowd. We where alone when we visited.

There is a bit dirty on the floor because of the bats, but there should be water to wash your feet’s at the entrance.

There is also toilet facilities.

An untouristy temple which is a rarity here. Clearly not well known about but it was very interesting, and a nice place to cycle or take a scooter out to from the city. The temple area is built into a cave with bats remaining in there. Free to visit and would recommend on a day of sight seeing
