About About the place

Wat Tham Khiri Wong is a Buddhist temple situated near Ban Krut, Thailand, distinguished by its location within a natural cave. The cave houses numerous Buddha images, including a prominent reclining Buddha. While the grounds show signs of needing upkeep, the temple offers a genuine glimpse into local religious practice, with resident monks actively engaging with visitors. Guests can participate in traditional rituals, such as offering incense and gold leaf to the Buddhas. The surrounding area includes a large, beautiful tree near the temple gate.

Tips by Locals

Accessibility

Accessibility is limited due to the cave's natural terrain, which involves steps and uneven floors. The cave floor can be dirty with bat and bird droppings. Individuals with mobility issues may find it challenging to navigate.

Kid friendly

While children are welcome, the cave's environment (darkness, potential for slippery floors, bat/bird droppings) may be unsettling for very young children. Older children may enjoy exploring and ringing the bells outside the cave.

Pet friendly

Unknown; it's best to inquire locally.

Food facilities/restaurants/cafes

There are no dedicated food facilities onsite. However, the monks sometimes offer treats and hot chocolate to visitors. Restrooms are likely available but may be basic.
