Tiger Cave Temple - Wat Tham Suea วัดถำเสือ Kanchanaburi Thailand 2024

Most visitors to Kanchanaburi come for the world-famous bridge over the river Kwai, but there is much more to see in the area.
Wat Tham Suea, or the “tiger cave temple” is one of the most famous temples in Kanchanaburi and worth a few hours to visit.
There is another temple near Krabi with the same name as well as the tiger temple that was closed down after being accused of drugging the tigers. This temple is not either one of those two.
This temple gets its name from supposedly having a family of tigers that was living in the cave before it was a temple.
This temple plays host to an enormous golden Buddha, visible for miles around, known as “Chin Prathaporn”. It was constructed in 1973. It is an amazing 18 meters high and 10 meters wide with many local Thai residents coming up daily to make merit here. There is a 157 step climb to the temple or a cheap tram ride from the base of the hill.
The temple is open from 7:30am until 4:30pm on Monday to Friday, and 7am until 5:30pm on Saturday and Sunday with free admission.
Next to the temple is a Chinese style pagoda that is also worth seeing. Wat Tham Khao Noi. It’s not directly accessible from Wat Tham Suea so it won’t be as crowded but it’s worth a short walk to see it.
