Wat Suwan Kuha (Cave Temple) is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking Krasom Subdistrict, Thailand
As part of our trip this was the last port of call. Really amazing the cave system is very extensive and the reclining Buddha is a work of art. Everywhere you look there are very interesting icons to view and with a very knowledgeable guide it all makes sense.Even the monkeys were great to see.
Nice place, but I expected more… There is just one lying Buddha and some small ones… In a cave. Don’t buy babanas on a parking lot. Its not worth because monkeys are over eaten.
What an amazing experience! I don’t usually feel comfortable in caves but this temple in a cave took my breath away. There is a large car park immediately adjacent to the cave entrance and toilets can be found near the entrance. There are several food stalls selling bananas to feed the monkeys but don’t bother as they seem quite capable of stealing their own food! Entrance to the cave is free for Thais but 20THB for non Thais. The main possible difficulty within the temple are some of the steps which in places are uneven and wet. There are some handrails but anyone suffering from mobility problems will need to to take extra care. Sadly some visitors have little patience and take no notice of elderly visitors in their wish to reach the highest point. There are many interesting features particularly the golden reclining Buddha which dominates part of the temple but there are many other artifacts worth close study.We weren’t troubled at all by the monkeys probably because they all looked very well fed! Beware of low flying pigeons though! Coming down the steps was probably the trickiest part of the visit with inconsistent lighting and, once again, impatient and selfish other visitors.Take time and make sure camera/phone batteries are fully charged!Highly recommended.
Interesting experience this was included in one of the tours I booked not something I would go and do ,not quite sure what it really represents had to wrap our self in towels has the tour operator forget to mention we had to cover our shoulders and knees ,even though a man was going round with just his vest on , Didn’t really take long the cave was hot and musty ( my throat hurt the day after ) didn’t climb to the top,one lady did the sweat dripped off her .Each to one own
Nice place to visit. The monkeys are enjoyable. My whole family enjoyed feeding the monkeys . Inside the temple is interesting
We’ve been here a few times now and every time we leave with a sense of awe and a smile on our faces.Caves, mountains, temples, bats and monkeys and surprisingly never really busy and overrun
Amazing place, actually breathtaking. The lying down buddha is so large and impressive. It goes up another two levels which were less impressive
Wat Suwan Kuha the cave temple. We had just over an hour to explore the temple and photo the monkeys outside. There is a small market which sells food to feed the monkeys but there is a sign saying don’t feed the monkeys 🙈 we respected the no feeding sign but were able to get close enough to photo. Inside the temple, there is a monk pretending to read a book but actually is on his phone, there are many areas to explore in the temple but it does involve climbing quite a few steps.
Worth the visit, full of cute monkeys and the cave is very beautiful. You can see part of their culture from ages ago.beautiful
