Location

The small temple is on the south side of the large massif, to the south of Ban Thap Phrik. Access is by the back road that loops around the limestone hill from the centre of the village.There is a sign in Thai for the temple, but it isn't called Wat Tham Thep Pratan. The cave is the large entrance up on the right as you enter the compound. Martin Ellis - 01/12/2019
