Wat Tham Sua, Amphoe Muang
 This
temple, also known as "tiger cave," is only 3 km
from Krabi. The inside of this cave features tiger prints
captured in stone, and is in the middle of a lush forest,
with enormous, ancient trees. As well as serving as a temple,
this site is also very significant archaeologically, as many
artifacts have been found on the premises, including tools,
pottery, and the mold for the Buddha's footprint. In addition,
there are several other caves and points of interest in the
surrounding hills.
How to get there: Being so close to the town makes
this an easy day-trip, and there is plenty of transportation
available.

in the area, particularly at Khuan Luk Pat, is located at

impressive and varied collection of artifacts, dating back
for thousands of years, including stone tools, stone and ceramic
ornaments in animal shapes, and religious beads.
How to get there: The museum is serviced by public
buses, and there are also a number of day tours that combine
