Wat Tham Sua

Temple Krabi, Krabi, Thailand

What to expect

The Tiger Cave Temple, also known as Wat Tham Sua, is a sacred Buddhist site located northeast of Krabi, Thailand. The temple is famous for its tiger paw prints in the cave, a towering hilltop Buddha and Pagoda, and a challenging 1260-step climb to the top. The surrounding area is covered with large trees hundreds of years old, and the temple is home to a meditation center and several caves, including Tum Khon Than, Tum Lod, Tum Chang Kaeo, and Tum Luk. Visitors can enjoy stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside and the Andaman Sea from the top of the mountain. The temple also features a large golden Buddha statue and several other temple buildings. Monkeys roam the lower stairs and temple grounds, and visitors are advised to respect them and keep their belongings secure
