Phang-nga

Connected to Phuket by the Sarasin Bridge, Phang-Nga is home to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and the Monkey Cave, both parts of a tour we took from our hotel in Phuket.

Sights & Culture

Monkey Cave

It was a long drive, up to the top of Phuket, over the bridge to the mainland and then to the Monkey Cave. The monkeys were really used to people and I think I have managed to get some excellent shots of them. The light was a little awkward, as it was very bright sun with thick shadows from the trees. Several of the monkeys climbed all over the people with food!

Wat Suwan Khuha

Part of the monkey cave is the Cave of the Reclining Buddha, or Wat Suwan Khuha, which also had a light cave and dark cave behind it. It was pretty impressive, though the strip lights were a little aggravating to my photography.
