WAT SUWAN KHUHA IN TAKUA THUNG DISTRICT |
|
 |
|
| |
|
The Wat Suwan Khuha is in Moo 2 of Tambon Krasom. Starting from Phang-nga Town, go for 7 kms. down the Phang-nga--Khok Kloy road (Route 4). At Km. 31 an asphalt road turns off to the right, and the temple is about 1 km. down the road.
Local people call Wat Suwan Khuha simply Wat Tham, which means cave temple. It is in a limestone mountain, or karst, riddled with caves large and small. The individual caves in the temple itself have names :Tham Yai or Big Cave; Tham jaeng or Bright Cave; Tham Meud or Dark Cave and Tham Kaew or Crystal Cave. The big cave is the lowest and serves as the entrance. It is much bigger than the other caves: 20 meters wide, and 40 meters long. The floor is flat and the ceiling a curving sized tiled of Lai Kram and Benjarong, which are typically Thai art forms. Inside Tham Yai, which is used as a vihara, or shrine, are stucco figures of the Buddha.
