Tiger Cave Temple – tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps

One of the main attractions of Krabi Town is the so-called "tiger cave". Although I would rather call it "the big Buddha on the mountain". Since it is most memorable, and not some small cave.

In addition, you can take a taxi or moto taxi and get there with a driver. It is better to go for the whole day in the morning. Believe me, after 1237 steps, you will get very tired, and there is also a park where you can walk. What's nice is the price of the entrance to the Tiger Temple – everything there is absolutely free! Even a shower and toilet!

Personal experience of visiting the big Buddha and tiger cave

We went there in the morning. But as it turned out, in principle, there are not so many people there. I.e. there is no stampede on the stairs :-). It was possible to calmly go up and down, occasionally meeting tourists. At the entrance to the temple, you could see the following.

This is just a spacious room, there are sometimes monks in red robes. There are also boxes for donations and a shop with souvenirs. If you donate some money, then you will be given a fabric bracelet as a gift (just a braided rope). Well, here are the photos of the temple inside: Tiger Cave Temple - tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps Tiger Cave Temple - tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps Tiger Cave Temple - tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps Tiger Cave Temple - tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps In general, that's all. Let's move on. There is an alleyway where monkeys live. You need to be careful with them, because if you have food, then until they all take it all away, they will not calm down. And here is the entrance to the Buddha statue: Tiger Cave Temple - tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps At the bottom there is a waterfall: Tiger Cave Temple - tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps And a map of the park: Tiger Cave Temple - tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps Immediately near the waterfall monkeys are roasting: Tiger Cave Temple - tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps We decided to take a walk to the park after the Buddha.

It wasn't really interesting there. Nevertheless, we took a superficial look at it. There are caves, though small. Well, jungle jungle jungle. It's really scary at night. A bunch of extraneous noises. And here are the caves: Tiger Cave Temple - tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps Tiger Cave Temple - tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps And a large tree, considered a landmark: Tiger Cave Temple - tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps Jungle and Spider: Tiger Cave Temple - tiger cave and big buddha on the mountain with 1237 steps Overall, we were very tired during the day. But it is definitely worth going here! The place is great. And even free!
