Wat Tham Khao Ngu near Phang Nga

---

Phraya Nakarat Cave Temple, also called Wat Tham Khao Ngu, is a very attractive cave temple with a breathtaking scenery. Four religions are represented in this temple: Thai Buddhism, Chinese Buddhism, Hinduism and the ancient belief in spirits. You can admire highly venerated statues such as Phra Pikaneth, the elephant-headed deity, Shiva Nataraja, the dancing deity, and various forms of the historic Buddha. The main attraction is the tip of the tail of a huge snake (ngu) sticking out from the ground in a cave.

Wat Khiri Wong is the retreat of hermit monks. At the parking beside the road a group of quite active monkeys are begging for food. After passing the tunnel through the mountain a tropical garden comes into view. Several kutis (huts) for monks are built here, in an absolutely quiet tropical garden location.

Mister Gaeng makes some of the best tours that Khao Lak has to offer. All guests are full of praise about his non-touristy "Five Highlight Tour" that includes three world class attractions of Phang Nga area, the limestone rocks of Phang Nga Bay, made famous by a James Bond movie, the unique hongs accessible by sea canoe only, and one of the most beautiful small caves in the world hardly known by any tourist or even by cave freaks. Another tour that is absolutely unique in Thailand is the big game watching tour to Chiew Lan Lake where in an overnight trip up to five big game can be observed, among them wild elephants, gaur, sambar, wild boar, barking deer, and occasionally a sun bear or even the elusive tapir. His half day snorkel trip at the house reef of Khao Lak is a highly attractive tour, too, as with Gaenge many fish can be seen among vast coral fields.
