Visit Phraya Nakhon Cave around 10 am to see the golden sunlight flood through the roof and illuminate the hidden Thai Pavillion, the smallest temple in Thailand.
The cave is one of the most beautiful, photographed, and visited locations. The atmosphere inside is tranquil and created a mystical sensation. There is a forest growing within the cave.Ā
To get to the hidden Temple, you’ll need to drive to Bang Pu a small seaside town where you have two choices on how to reach the cave. You can either take a boat to Laem Sala Beach (not reachable by car) or hike to the Laem Sala Beach (about 30 minutes mostly upwards), once at the beach you will need then to hike another 30 minutes to reach the Phraya Nakhon Cave entrance.
Don’t forget to bring water with you and don’t be discouragedĀ by the long journey ahead, the cave is worth it.Ā
