What travelers say:

About 9km from AoNang. You can rent a bike for 200baht. Bring appropriate clothes or rent them there,no vests or shorts allowed. The climb is not too tough if you have any kind of fitness level. I saw a lot of people struggling though. The view from the top is amazing, you can watch the planes land at Krabi airport. Unfortunately the weather was bad on the day we went up. But it's well worth the trip.

Wat Tham Suea (Tiger Cave Temple) Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Tiger Cave Temple is about 8 kilometers away from the center of Krabi town. Tiger Cave Temple and Emerald Pool are on the same route, far from the city center. Therefore, you can visit together with the Emerald Lake and Hot Spring Waterfall, and spend a day. Because the temple is located at the foot of the dense jungle mountain, the road to the Dragon Cave Temple is not easy to find, and the road signs are not clear. You may need to ask the locals for the route along the way. Of course, compared with many temples with strong incense in Thailand, there are few tourists here, which is good in a sense, because the place can be kept as it is and quiet. Tiger Cave Temple in Karst Cave Follow a circular walk through a small forest canyon, you can see the main hall of Tiger Cave Temple, which is located in a long cave, you will find hills, caves and temples. into fun. The most striking thing at the entrance of the main hall is the two big golden tigers with their teeth and claws. Many tourists will take photos here. But in fact the Tiger Cave Temple got its name not because there are actually tigers, but because the nearby rocks have formed tiger-like claws. Climbing the 1237 steps overlooking Krabi In fact, tourists come here, in addition to visiting the temple, the more important thing is to climb the 1237 steps to reach the 600-meter-high karst peak, overlooking the entire Krabi scenery. If you want to climb the mountain, you need to return to the parking lot at the entrance first. There are two stairs going up to the top of the mountain, where you can look at the surrounding landscape, Krabi city and the sea in the distance.

Walking up is very tiring, more than a thousand steps. Can go up for an hour. It must be a young generation's day, a little strong, the top is beautiful. You can see the scenery clearly and wide.

those stairs are something to really test you. If you take often 10sec breaks it makes it more manageable. I am not the fittest person but once I found a routine that worked for me it was fine!Once you reach the top you realise it was all worth the efforts. It was absolutely breath taking. There's also a shaded little wind tunnel right at the top that I used to cool down.This is a MUST see!

Wat Tham Suea is a place to hold the minds of Krabi people. It is very beautiful and has 1,237 steps to the temple 🛣 It is a measure of patience and a very conquering heart and faith, but when you get to the top, it's very beautiful and tired. 😇
