- Wat Rat Uppatham (Wat Bang Riang) - The guide will meet the group at the hotel in the morning to embark on a journey to Phang Nga province, exploring its spiritual essence. Visitors will discover three remarkable temples, experiencing a day rich in culture, religion, myths, and legends. Perched high on a mountain, Bang Rieng Temple features a stunning golden Buddha image towering above the trees. As the largest temple in the province, it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forest and mountains. The temple comprises three sections in various architectural styles and is said to house a relic of the Lord Buddha.
- Dragon Cave Temple (Praya Nakarach Cave Temple) - Another awe-inspiring place of worship is the Dragon Cave Temple, situated within a limestone cave adorned with stalagmites and stalactites. Visitors can enter the temple via numerous stone steps to discover countless small shrines and Buddha images in various forms. Legend has it that the temple possesses healing powers, and the monks residing there have mastered the art of creating herbal medicines for the local villagers. The tranquil atmosphere makes it a favored spot for meditation and reflection.
- Wat Suwan Khuha - Also nestled in a cave is Wat Suwan Khuha, one of the oldest temples in the province. Inside, visitors will be captivated by a 15-meter-long golden reclining Buddha, surrounded by other religious statues and relics. Monks and the cave’s resident cats are often seen near the reclining Buddha, with monks meditating and cats napping! Outside the temple, visitors should be cautious of the playful macaque monkeys roaming around.
Lunch is provided at a local restaurant. The sequence of temple visits may vary and will be determined by the guide on the day. After exploring the temples, the group will return to Khao Lak and their hotel.
