Tham Khao Luang Cave

Of the countless caves and grottoes found around Phetchaburi, Tham Khao Luang Cave, also a Buddhist place of worship, enjoys most fame (Highway 4 to the west, turn right on to Highway 3173, 3 km (2 mi.)). It comprises several high and wide halls, with a number of Buddha figures in the entrance hall. Steep steps lead down into a very large hall filled with dripstones and countless statues of Buddha. The light entering the hall through holes and cracks in the vault conjures up a magical atmosphere.
