Information: Wat Sai Thaican't be designated as a proper temple, the place still plays a vital role in the life of the people. Much of the action revolves around the place and it is the main hub during social functions like weddings and other Buddhist events and festivals.

The main attraction of the Wat Sai Thai in Krabi is the statue of the reclining Buddha. About 15 m in height, the statue is placed on a rock shelter under one of the many limestone cliffs and is worth visiting.

Even if not a proper temple, Wat Sai Thai in Krabi is looked after by some monks voluntarily. The surroundings of the Wat Sai Thai in Krabi are beautiful with a huge tree in front of the cliff makes for a great view from the distance. Apart from the reclining Buddha, other attractions at the Wat Sai Thai in Krabi includes a bell tower, some reliquary stupas (thaat kraduuk) and the foundation of a cremation hall which was being built when the place was used properly and purposefully.

Information: Wat Tham Seua (Tiger Cave Temple) is a small temple built inside a long shallow limestone cave, surrounded by natural forest. The temple, one of the south's most famous meditation centres, takes its name from a stone formation nearby which resembles a tiger's claw. Today, about 250 monks and nuns live in the temple compound.  

Two staircases wind up the limestone cliffs. The first one leads with 1,237 steps to the top of the mountain offering a superb 360-degree view and is definitely worth a try. Pillars on the staircase indicate how many steps you have already climbed and a monkey family lives around the stairs. Reaching the top will reward you with an incredible view and there is a huge sitting Buddha, a golden pagoda and a few other small constructions. The second one (only 130 steps!) leads into a valley where the monks live in simple huts.

Riddled with cave systems, the whole area has revealed many archeological findings including stone tools, pottery shards, and unfired clay holy images, dating from prehistoric times. The temple also runs a meditation centre.
