Stop: 1 h 30 min - admission not included
Wat Suwan Kuha
Wat Suwan Kuha
Feel the jungle energy of this cave-temple carved into a towering limestone cliff, where incense smoke curls beneath natural stalactites. Tucked into a dramatic limestone cliff, Wat Suwan Kuha is a sacred sanctuary where nature and spirituality intertwine. Begin your visit at the entrance, where playful macaques gather beneath the trees. Inside the cave, a 15-meter reclining golden Buddha rests beneath dripping stalactites, surrounded by incense-filled air and quiet reverence. Wander deeper to discover smaller shrines nestled into rock crevices, each glowing with candlelight. For a final breath of fresh air, climb above the cave to a hidden viewpoint offering lush panoramas of the Phang Nga countryside.

Wat Rat Uppatham
Feel free to explore at your own pace and discover
Stop: 2 hours - admission not included
Wat Rat Uppatham
A mountaintop sanctuary where forest views and giant Buddhas invite quiet reflection far above the jungle. High in the hills of Phang Nga, Wat Rat Uppatham (Wat Bang Riang) offers a peaceful retreat above the trees. The complex features a grand seated Buddha, a golden statue of Luang Pho Tuad, and a brilliant white chedi that glows against the forested backdrop. The air is cooler here, the pace slower, and the views: panoramic. Wander the wide platforms, admire the intricate sculptures, and soak in the quiet spirituality that still draws local worshippers. This mountaintop haven blends sacred atmosphere with stunning natural beauty, far from the usual tourist path, making it a rewarding stop on your Thai journey.
