- Fact
Located on Khao Kaeo, Tambon Krabi Noi. Originally, it was “Na Ching Monastery”, a place for practicing Dharma and meditation. Later it was renamed Wat Tham Suea, and the reason for being named this was because tigers used to live in the cave in that area, and inside the cave there is a natural stone in the shape of a tiger’s paw. The general natural condition is a forest and many small caves. The highlight of the temple is the Phrathat chedi, replica of the Buddha’s Footprint, and a large Buddha image in the posture of meditation, which is enshrined on the top of Khao Kaeo that is about 600 metres above sea level in height. There is a stairway with 1,237 steps for walking up to worship. In addition, at the top of Khao Kaeo, visitors can see a 360-degree view of Krabi town, which is surrounded by beautiful, strangely shaped mountains. It is also a point to watch the sunrise. During the months of September-January, there is a chance to see the sea of mist in the morning as well.
