Wat Khao Khun Phanom, Buddhist temple in Ban Ko, Thailand

The temple stands at an elevation of 165 meters, featuring multiple cave systems containing ancient Buddha statues and religious artifacts throughout its galleries.

King Taksin the Great found sanctuary in this temple's caves during the 18th century, following his departure from power in the Ayutthaya period.

The temple houses thirty Buddhist bronze statues from the Ayutthaya era, displaying different poses and serving as objects of devotion for religious practices.

Visitors can access the temple daily between 7 AM and 6 PM without admission fees, with motorcycle taxis and private vehicles available for transportation.

The temple complex incorporates natural karst cave formations, where stalactites and stalagmites create geological displays alongside religious monuments.
