Wat Tham Kham, Buddhist temple in Na Nai, Thailand.
Wat Tham Kham stands on Phu Kham Mountain, featuring a large pagoda that rises against the backdrop of the Phu Phan mountain range.
The temple originated in 1953 when monk Ajarn Fan discovered a cave with an ancient Buddha statue where local people performed Songkran rituals.
The central pagoda contains a bronze statue of Ajarn Thate Desaransi, revered monk of the Thai Forest Tradition, along with his ashes and personal items.
The temple grounds require climbing steep steps, and visitors can reach the location within 40 minutes from Sakon Nakhon through countryside roads.
According to local accounts, when Ajarn Fan first arrived at the cave that would become the temple, a tiger living there voluntarily left the space.
