A cave temple in the hills of Thab Prik, about 20 km south of Ao Nang, maintained by monks who live at the adjacent monastery. The cave contains Buddhist shrines and stalactites, and the walk through it is peaceful and atmospheric. Entry is free; modest dress is required (covered shoulders and knees). A scooter or taxi is needed to reach it — there is no direct public transport from Ao Nang.
