Yala - Caves

In the mountains around Yala numerous caves have been turned into temples. Of particular interest are the caves of Tham Koo Ha Pimsak (with a 25-m (82-ft) high Buddha) and the cave at Tham Silpa with fragments of 13th c. wall paintings (Srivijaya period). From Yala it is signposted on Highway 409 in the direction of Hat Yai.
