Description

Wat Tham Bo Ya is a cave temple which also called Wat Thep Nimit Song Tham. A stairway at the foot of the hill leads up to the cave Tham Bo Ya.

Tham Bo Ya has three sections of different character. The first part at the entrace holds a large Buddha image and is part of the temple. At the end of the religous section a dripstone cave with many speleothems starts. This part is famous for its weath of stalactites and stalagmites. A dead end passage has a pond at the end called Bo Nam Thip. This place is believed to be sacred by the locals. The third section of the cave is another entrance section of the through cave on the other side of the rock.
