Sights & Activities
Wat Tham Seua
Wat Tham Seua (Tiger Cave Temple) is a sprawling hill and cave temple complex 8km
northwest of Krabi and is an easy day trip from Krabi Town. The best part of the grounds
can be found by following a loop trail through a little forest valley behind the ridge where
the
bòht
(central sanctuary) is located. You'll find several limestone caves hiding Buddha
images, statues and altars, as well as troops of monkeys cackling from the trees.
Back near the park entrance you'll come to a gruellingly steep 1237-stair case leading
to a 600m karst peak. The fit and fearless are rewarded with a Buddha statue, a gilded
stupa and spectacular views. Motorcycle taxis or túk-túk to the wát from Krabi cost 100B
each way; a
sŏrng·tăa·ou
from Th Utarakit is 50B. Please, please dress appropriately
when visiting the wát by covering shoulders to knees.
