History

Description

วัดถ้ำเขารูปช้าง (Khao Rup Chang Cave Temple) is a typical Thai Buddhist temple, a huge park with a stone templke in the middle. The cave is located on the western border of the temple precinct, inside a karst tower. It is reached across a river on a concrete bridge. The huge entrance portal lead to an even larger hall with a golden Buddha statue. The Goddess Kuan Yin is enshrined inside the cave. There are sculptures of elephants, dragons, and massive speleothems, mostly stalagmites. The cave has a tiled floor and electric light, unfortunately it is coloured.
