Tiger Cave Temple, Wat Tum Sua (thamsua tham sua thum sua), Krabi, Thailand.

http://wattumsua.thaipulse.com - Top of mountain at Wat Tum Sua (Wat Thamsua or Tham Sua) "Tiger Cave Temple", a Buddhist temple in Krabi, Thailand (south) with a chedi and big Buddha on top of mountain (1,237 steps up) about 260 meters high vertically. Great scenery. A beautiful attraction.

This is one of the very best spots near Krabi town to visit. There is a lot to do. Many monkeys. Pleasant people. A very hot climb up the hill with cold water at the top (free), bring a water bottle so you can fill it up the plastic cups at the top are not that clean after hundreds of people have used them.

Though it's a Thai meditation center it's not really for lay people - Thai or foreigners. There are no English speaking monks or nuns at the temple that you'll probably find. Well, there is one that climbs the steps almost daily - he has climbed it over 1300 times in the past 15 years. His name is "Pra Pornpitak" (pornpeetak). He's friendly and loves to practice his English with visitors.

There are no overnight meditation retreat facilities here.

Don't miss this lovely Buddhist temple - and please leave a small donation, there are 200+ laypeople and 80+ monks living here during the rainy season.

Very beautiful sceneries. Are there a lot of tourists went up there? How far from the city of Krabi? Thank you for sharing.
