Description

Martin Ellis - 10/08/2019

The wat is famous for the bas-relief Buddha image in the cliff. A few metres past the bas-relief some steps lead up to the cave entrance. After a few metres a high level entrance enters from the left and the passage turns right. A large, white, concrete Buddha almost blocks the passage and is lit from a skylight. The cave soon closes down behind the statue.
