Krabi - Parte Dos

Wat Tham Seua aka The Tiger Cave




Krabi Town - what an amazing temple this is.there is a new pagoda being built and it looks magnificent! Wat Tham Seua is a place to be in Krabi Town. enter the Tiger Cave to have a look at amazing Buddha statues and also a skeleton with a tale behind it. dont really remember what was it about. monkeys are galore here. so watch out the banana you have been munching since you arrived. not forgetting those peanuts.






first glance at this sign and i was up for it. and yes, i eventually arrived at the summit and it was simply breathtaking. not only was the view from hundred of meters above the ground but literally i was panting! some steps are so steep that you are practically crawling up the steps. take a breather and enjoy the scenic view of the Krabi province. its just refreshing. even had a friend as company as we walked up the steps. the monk was going up to stay a night at the temple. we chatted and took breathers until we reached the top. very friendly guy with awesome tatts.



somebody call 9 1 1...







i had to cam-whore to prove i was up there. the Buddha statue was amazing, sitting serenely above everybody. the Pagoda was huge and gold. it was just awesome being up here. there were look-out points as well. honestly, it was well worth the walk, which took almost 45 minutes. how high was Batu Caves in Malaysia again? but nothing beats these steps up.try it... you have to!
