Tham Khao Luang

Interesting caves

What we say:

These caves are well worth a visit and are fairly accessible, located only 5 km from the centre of Phetburi. The caves contain a number of Buddhas in a variety of stances. The best time to visit is around 17:00 when light through a hole in the ceiling falls directly on one of the Buddhas making for a superb photo. Legend has it that the entrance to the cave will send you through a twilight zone to a cave inhabited by young maidens!

There is a secondary cave for which you will need a torch running off from near the head of the reclining Buddha. Down the passage are loads of monkeys playing amongst the various oddities including waterfall like stalactites, stones which look like faces and much more! There are children hanging around, some of whom speak good English who will guide you around (they'll find you, do not worry) for a small fee.

How to get there: Cycle rickshaw and tuk tuks can ferry you out here, or else a songtheaw leaves from the clocktower.
