Wat Khao Bandai It
วัดเขาบันไดอิฐ
A cave temple on a small hill west of town, with Buddha images in several limestone caves, many monkeys and views over the countryside.
Wat Khao Bandai It sits on a small limestone hill about 2 kilometers west of Khao Wang. Brick-paved steps lead up to several connected caves that house a reclining Buddha and seated Buddhas. Sunlight filters in through gaps in the cave ceiling, creating a serene atmosphere. The temple at the summit has an Ayutthaya-style chedi and a Buddhist hall. It sees fewer visitors than Tham Khao Luang, but there are more monkeys, so don't carry food in your hands. Admission is free, and temple volunteers sometimes guide visitors into the caves.
Opening hours
