99% of Hong Kong people don’t know about Thailand’s niche Kanchanaburi Tiger Cave Temple.

Thailand🇹🇭Tiger Cave Temple in Kanchanaburi Province is known as one of the ten most beautiful temples in Thailand. It is also a niche tourist destination that many Hong Kong people are unaware of. It is said that in the past, ascetics practiced here and were protected by tigers. The monks built a small temple next to the tiger's den. Later, believers raised funds and the large temple was built today. The recommended walking route is up left and right down. The steps on the left are two long dragons. Follow the dragon's head and climb up the steps. The Tiger Cave Temple is not very big, so you can sit here to enjoy the wind and experience the different scenery. ☑️What to watch ■Big Buddha: The 18-meter golden Buddha is inlaid with golden mosaic tiles on the surface and backed by a cone-shaped golden light shield. This is the largest promised Buddha statue in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand. ■Tall Tower: Right next to the Big Buddha, take off your shoes and enter. There are countless corridors on the first floor, which are very photogenic. Going up the stairs to the top of the building, there are murals painted on each floor. I don't know much about them. They are probably about the history of Thailand, portraits of kings, and stories about gods and Buddhas. At the top is a pagoda, which is said to enshrine the relics of the Buddha. When I went there, there were monks chanting sutras on the top floor. Don’t forget, there is a window on the side that offers a panoramic view of the entire temple and the Big Buddha. ■Karst cave: There is a natural cave at the bottom of the mountain. The tiger god is worshiped inside, so it is also called Tiger Cave Temple. There are monks sitting inside the cave. You can come and pray for peace. You can be given a bracelet and donate 20 baht. The tigers enshrined in the Tiger Cave are like the pioneer tigers in Journey to the West. ■Coffee: Behind the temple is a rice field, the most famous of which is Ananda Cafe, an Internet celebrity cafe, which is really great! It is recommended to go! ☑️Transportation It is about 17 kilometers from the city to the temple. Renting a car for a round trip costs about 500 baht a day. If you rent a motorcycle, the price is 300 baht. A deposit of 200 baht and a passport photo are required. ‼ ️It is recommended to ride a motorcycle, which takes about 1 hour. The schedule is more flexible. No. ☑️Recommended route: Urban area-Tiger Cave Temple-Meena Cafe-Giant Tree-Bridge on the River Kwai-JJ Night Market-Railway Station Night Market ⏰Opening hours: 08:00 - 17:00 💰Tickets: Free
