Wat Suwan Kuha, auch kurz Wat Tham (Höhlentempel) genannt, ist ein buddhistischer Tempelkomplex im Amphoe (Distrikt) Takua Thung in der Provinz Phang Nga (Phangnga) im Nordwesten Süd-Thailands. Er besteht aus mehreren Kalksteinhöhlen mit Buddhastatuen. Die größte Höhle (Tham Yai) ist etwa 40 Meter lang und 20 Meter breit und beherbergt einen angeblich mehr als 200 Jahre alten ca. 15 Meter langen goldenen Reclining Buddha.
Eine besondere Attraktion sind für viele Besucher die zahlreichen Makaken-Affen, die sich im Vorbereich tummeln.

Monkey Cave also known as Buddha Cave or Wat Suwan Kuha is a surprising cave sheltering an immense reclining golden Buddha.

In Thailand, if you feel like a little drive outside Phuket island, this is your chance to explore another side of Phang Nga! If you rent a car, driving along the majestic cliffs of Phang Nga will reveal impressive landscapes and the surprising Wat Suwan Kuha cave where this famous reclining Buddha is located.

You can see monkeys all over the place outside the cave. None inside. Of course people try to sell you food to feed the monkeys. Up to you. Anyway, if you have never been close to a monkey before, here's a place to get that monkey vibe.

Inside the main cave, the dominant figure is the large reclining Buddha. There are a number of other Buddha images too and a big Chedi which contains bones of the Na Takuathung family who were the local governors about 160 years ago and who arranged for the construction of a shrine in the cave.

The big reclining Buddha is quite impressive. You can see it from all angles. You can climb some steps behind the reclining Buddha to a couple of small shrines, light some incense, say a prayer.

The massive reclining Buddha deserves particular mention. The scale, high level of artistry, and golden hue combine to instinctively draw the eye. Visitors may follow paths around the figure and view it from all angles. Behind the Buddha lie two small shrines; the faithful may take a moment to light incense or say a prayer. Without doubt, this figure serves as the focal point of Tham Suwan Kuha.

You can climb some steps past the big Buddha, enter another part of the cave. Oh, and I must mention there are bats in the cave too :) And some kind of cave dwelling birds. And a very amusing and totally pointless sign asking people to not write on the wall.

Despite the presence of the temple, the cavern complex retains much of the character of a natural cave. Stalactites and stalagmites decorate the caves, a colony of bats and many cave-dwelling birds reside within, and the air is rather humid. Without artificial lighting, visibility within the temple would be quite low. A tour of the temple allows visitors the unique opportunity to combine the serenity of a Buddhist spiritual landmark with alluring natural beauty.
