This is a very unique temple, it has futuristic and artistic design, it looks grey outside, inside the temple is colourful, a strong contra make it unique yet mystery. it builded in front of natural cave. The cave itself has several partitions each of the partition contains statues and some of the rooms also have the natural stalactites and stalagmites. worth visiting.

  2. It’s not far from Dannok and the hotel that I stayed. Lucky on me that I got a car to drive. So its quite easy for me to get there.

  3. Wow as you approach you have a feeling your at an Aztec temple when in fact you can be no further from the truth. This amazing place is well worth the trip. The caves are amazing . Take time and visit, it’s worth it.

  4. Do make a trip to visit the temple. I did and had a good experience. A very serene place. Not many visitors and managed to spend some time reading the history of the place.

  5. This Chinese temple called Wat Tham Khao Rup Chang is a Buddhist temple and a cave with Kuan Yin Statue and many deities in it. It has a river beneath the cave ecosystem. Although this temple is far south into the inner Sadao but it is worth the visit. Feel the inner peace in you if you wish to register yourself for meditation course with the temple. Fyi, this is a vegetarian temple.

  6. It’s been an amazing trip, and I feel fortunate to have found this temple as one of the places on my travel list. It’s not common to see such a wonderful design elsewhere; it’s a rare temple design.It is a very quiet place, surrounded by hills. There is a cave with a Guan Yin statue standing inside, a kind of pond. I also witnessed a family showering a little girl as Guan Yin’s blessing. It’s a must-visit temple when visiting Thailand. 45 minutes driving from Bukit Kayu Hitam border.

  7. The temple has 2 sections. The front temple has unusual structures that is not easily found elsewhere. Then there’s the cave temple at the back. The temple is serene and you will find few visitors. You will need your own transport as it is quite isolated. There are many signs asking you to take off your shoes but it is best you take your shoes with you as there is quite a bit of walking in some parts where you come out of a different exit.
