Location

Wat Tham Phra Kayasit is signed to the south of the H21, a kilometre to the east of the road cutting through a limestone ridge. Follow the road through the village of Ban Wang Mong and keep going until you reach the wat. It is on the south-western end of a limestone ridge, Phu Tham Pho, which the Lam Choen river loops around. The cave is up some steps, about 10m above the base of the hill. Martin Ellis - 29/09/2019

Description

The cave is tiled throughout with many statues of monks and Buddhas. The tiled steps lead up behind the statues to a room and a hole which gives access to a ledge on a cliff.
