Tiger Cave
About Tiger Cave
Wat Tham Suea, known as Tiger Cave Temple, stands as a significant Buddhist pilgrimage site in the Krabi Noi district north-northeast of Krabi Town. The temple complex integrates cave shrines, forested meditation areas, and monastic facilities within a natural limestone landscape. The primary attraction is an extensive concrete staircase with metal handrails that climbs approximately 309 metres over more than 1,250 steep steps to reach a summit platform. At the peak, visitors encounter a Golden Buddha statue, a sacred Buddha footprint, and expansive views across forests, limestone cliffs, and distant seascapes. The lower temple area preserves the original cave shrine with additional forest walking paths. Wild macaque monkeys inhabit portions of the complex, and a filtered water tap provides refreshment at the summit. Typical visits span two to three hours including the ascent, rest periods, and time spent at the summit.
