Description

Martin Ellis - 15/10/2019

In an undercut at the foot of the cliff there is a large reclining Buddha. At the back of the undercut there is a 5m long cave. Near the foot of the reclining Buddha there is another statute near which there is the locked gated entrance to a cave which is about 10m long. This cave is used as a store room. The concrete steps leading up the hill above the wat did not lead to any more caves and no more caves were found at the base of the cliff.
