Tips from locals
Wat Suwan Khuha is also known as Wat Tham or simply 'temple cave' because that’s where it’s located, in a limestone cave. The largest of the caves houses a stunning 15-metre reclining Buddha image and this cave is decorated throughout with attractive Benjarong (Thai-style) tiles. Care should be taken here as the temple has a sizeable and rather aggressive monkey population, prone to grabbing snacks off visitors and messing with car antennae. A chedi structure is reminiscent of Bangkok’s famous Temple of the Dawn (Wat Arun) and you’ll find another small grotto with a golden stupa. Apart from the naughty monkeys, this is a pleasant place to visit. Location: 36/1 Phet Kasem Rd, Krasom, Takua Thung, Phang-nga 82130, Thailand Tel: +66 (0)76 450 333
