Krabi’s Stunning Tiger Cave Temple
I visited Tiger Cave Temple and I absolutely loved it!
I arrived to Krabi Pier from Koh Phi Phi and since it was an early morning and I was traveling light, I made a delicious to head straight to Tiger Cave Temple.
After negotiating the price with a Tuk-Tuk driver, I was on my way to see Krabi’s most famous tourist attraction.
My tuk-tuk driver stopped at his house for a few minutes which seemed weird at first, but then I remembered that it was a normal thing in Thailand for Tuk-Tuk drivers to stop at their homes or somewhere else to pick up their family members or have lunch. Fun local culture indeed.
Anyway, after a short while I arrived at my destination, The Tiger Cave Temple, but it wasn’t yet the end of my journey.
To get to an actual temple there was a number of stairs to climb, actually the stairs were numbered so there was exactly 1237 stairs. The stairs were narrow but tall which made the journey even harder, considering I had a 7kg backpack on my shoulders and hovering around monkey only made it harder.
After 1 hour and 1237 stairs I finally was at the summit. It was a wonderful experience since I was there all by myself, it was quiet and peaceful. After enjoying the view and taking a few pictures, a very proud me started walking down and inspiring all the tourists that had a hard time climbing those stairs.
Then it was finally time to check into my hotel so I got another tuk-tuk and headed to Krabi Town.
I definitely recommend visiting Tiger Cave Temple, you’ll have great time! Enjoy 😊

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.
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!
Very beautiful views at the top of the mountain, but the road terrain is difficult to reach this beautiful place
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. 😇
This temple is well known in Krabi and nearby provinces. Both the distinctiveness of the temple and the reputation of "Luang Por Cham Nian", the abbot of Wat Tham Suea who has a long faith. The general condition of Wat Tham Suea is characterized by a forest garden, a cave niche, with cliff sheds and natural cave sources and most unique Popular with both Thai and foreign tourists is to come to pay homage to "Guanyin"
