Monkey Cave Temple, called Wat Suwankuha by the Thais, is one of the most exciting temples in the province of Phang Nga. Inside a natural limestone cave, there is a 200 year-old large reclining golden Buddha statue, and more Buddha statues standing in altars.

Besides that, you may found thousands of fruit bats hanging overhead. The temple is also a home of hundreds of long tailed macaques. They are very used to tourists and follow you trying to grab your backpack to look for food. However, you can feed them by buying some peanuts at a stall near the entrance. These sights can be equipped with a trip to James Bond Island combined.
