When on vacation in Krabi, Thailand, there are so many things to do. If you’ve gotten bored of the beach and want to try something else for a change, consider visiting the Tiger Cave Temple! There are many other things the temple has to offer that is also very enjoyable. Do note that because the place is a temple, you’ll have to dress modestly and leave your shoes outside.
That said, here are six fun things you can do on your visit to the Tiger Cave Temple:
1. Hunker down in Krabi Town or Ao Nang
Before the visit itself, be sure to book a place in nearby Krabi Town, which is only a 10-minute drive away from the temple. If you don’t mind traveling a little longer, you can reach the temple from Ao Nang in half an hour. Whichever route you take, there are many things to do in the area to help enhance your overall vacation experience. That said, make sure to rest well, as the temple isn’t for the weary.
2. View the sunrise or sunset
Going out early in the morning will spare you the sun and the crowd. If you want to visit later in the afternoon to enjoy the beautiful sunset, don’t forget your flashlight for your journey back down.
3. Climb up the steps
The weather in Thailand can get rather got. If you plan to climb up the steps leading to the temple, don’t forget to bring your water, especially on your visit to the temple. Why? There’s a 1237-step climb waiting for you. Although there’s a spot to refill on top of the mountain, bring two bottles as one won’t be enough for the full climb.
4. Keep everything inside your bag
Be warned! There are naughty and curious monkeys everywhere along the journey, and having any item hanging outside your bag is just begging to be snatched away. Also, don’t be afraid around them, for as long as you act friendly, they won’t hurt you. Just make sure to keep your belongings safely tucked away.
5. Take a look at your surroundings
While taking on the climbing challenge, don’t forget to take breaks occasionally. Though your goal is reaching the temple, the journey is part of the destination as well. Look around and enjoy the spectacular view, completely forgetting that you look like you had just dived into the ocean minutes ago.
6. Challenge the record
The shortest time a person took to climb the steps was within 10 minutes and 21 seconds. If you think you have what it takes to beat the record, give it a try!
The climb won’t be easy, but we assure you that the rewards are well worth every drop of sweat. On your journey, don’t forget your camera! You don’t want to miss out on the chance to capture the beautiful view and the scenery you’ll see along the way. With the fun things you can do at the Tiger Cave Temple, you are preparing yourself for an unforgettable trip.
