The Tiger Cave Temple
Wat Tham Sua, the “Tiger Cave Temple” (no, there are no tigers here!) is one of the biggest and most impressive in western Thailand. The temple sits on a big hill overlooking green rice fields. There’s a long staircase up the hill, but if you have 20 baht to spare, there’s a funicular cable car that you can take up and down to and from the temple.

The complex is made up of a number of different shrines and chapels, and it’s a very popular spot with locals and foreigners alike. The main Buddha image is massive, and can be seen from far away in the surrounding countryside.
