Highlights
- Wat Suwan Khuha - Tham Sawan Kuha Temple, known to locals as Wat Tham (the “temple cave”), resides in a complex of caves near the town of Phang Nga, the capital of Phang Nga Province. It serves as a functioning and revered place of worship for local Buddhists and also as a tourist destination. The largest of the four-cave system, the subterranean Tham Yai, holds a number of standing and sitting Buddha figures and ceramic figures of spiritual significance. The highlight of the temple and the subject of worship for religious pilgrims and Buddhist monks is a spectacular 15-metre reclining gold Buddha. The subdued lighting of the cave combined with the limited natural light create a mystical, other-worldly atmosphere. The soft echo of voices and footsteps further adds to the ambience. Visitors reach Tham Yai via a gently-sloping staircase from the surface.

Overall a truly great experience - but perhaps a bit inefficient. - We have already recommended this tour to other people and we are very well pleased with what we got to do and see while on it. However, we did end up spending a lot of time waiting and we never got to see one thing on the itinerary (monkey temple). So while we still felt satisfied we also felt like a little more planning could make this trip a little more efficient than it was. Our tour guide, Sofee, was great!
