Wat Tham Khao Luang

The temple features over 180 Buddha statues arranged throughout multiple chambers within a natural limestone cave system north of Phetchaburi town.

King Mongkut established this sacred site in 1868, creating a meditation space and installing numerous Buddha images within the cave chambers.

Thai Buddhists regularly visit the temple to perform religious ceremonies, light incense, and present offerings near the golden Buddha statues.

The temple opens daily from 9 AM to 4 PM, with access via paved stairs from the parking area, requiring modest clothing for entry.

Natural sunlight enters through ceiling openings, illuminating the golden Buddha statues and creating patterns across the cave interior.
