Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea)
Best time to visit
Go early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat and enjoy softer light for photos. Dry season, November to April, offers clearer skies and easier climbing.
Budget tips
No official entrance fee; small parking charge (about 20-50 THB) and voluntary donations are common, so carry cash. Skip guided tours if you only want the summit and explore independently to save money.

About
Fakta singkat: Climbing about 1,237 steep steps through humid jungle to a hilltop shrine rewards you with sweeping panoramas of limestone karsts and a gilded Buddha statue that gleams in the sun. Cavern shrines echo with monks’ chants and the air smells of incense and damp earth, while hidden meditation caves and ancient inscriptions hint at a long tradition of forest hermits.
Sorotan: You climb 1,237 steep stone steps to the summit, where a gleaming golden Buddha watches over a dizzying 360-degree panorama and the air smells of incense mixed with salt from the sea. In the caves below you can still spot weathered paw-shaped grooves said to be left by a tiger centuries ago, and local monks keep the quirky tradition of tying tiny strips of red cloth and leaving folded lotus offerings on limestone ledges during evening chants.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy closed shoes and plan for the 1,237 steep steps, bring plenty of water.
- Cover shoulders and knees when visiting shrines, carry a sarong to borrow or rent at the base.
- Start before 8am to beat heat and crowds, or aim for later afternoon for golden light but expect more people.
- Keep distance from macaques, secure phones and bags, and avoid feeding the monkeys to reduce bite risk.
