Hello, Pink Elephant will take you to visit Khao Luang Cave, or Wat Tham Khao Luang, located in Mueang District, Phetchaburi Province, just 5 kilometers from Khao Wang. And it's not far from Bangkok either. Follow the Pink Elephant...

The journey to the Pink Elephant Cave is by private car. Upon arrival at the checkpoint at the entrance to Khao Luang Cave, you will need to park your car below (free of charge). Then, you need to purchase a ticket for the entrance fee and round-trip transportation for only 15 baht per person. After that, a small songthaew driver will take you up to the top. The distance from the ticket booth is only about 700 meters.

The Khao Luang Cave: A Historical and Accessible Destination

The Khao Luang Cave, with its modest peak of only 92 meters, offers an easily accessible journey for visitors. The gentle slope allows for both car and foot access, making it a convenient destination for all.

Dating back approximately a century, the cave was constructed during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), adding a layer of historical significance to its natural beauty.

Khao Luang Cave is renowned for its stunning beauty, characterized by the abundance of stalactites and stalagmites adorning its walls. The cave boasts skylights that allow sunlight to penetrate, illuminating the cave floor and rock formations, creating a mesmerizing array of colors. The presence of numerous crevices in the rock formations ensures a cool and refreshing atmosphere, free from humidity, offering unobstructed views of the cave's splendor. The multiple skylights at the cave's ceiling allow sunlight to stream in, creating breathtaking beams of light. This phenomenon is well-known among photographers, as Khao Luang Cave is particularly famous for its "divine light," referring to the sunlight that filters down from the skylights, illuminating the cave floor below. The areas illuminated by the sunlight are exceptionally picturesque and captivating. For capturing clear images of the sunlight beams, it is recommended to visit between 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM, when the light is at its most stunning.

The angle of the sunlight varies depending on the time of day and season, creating a unique charm that attracts both Thai and international tourists.

The Khao Luang Cave houses a large Buddha statue, along with numerous other Buddha statues. However, the main attraction for tourists is the opportunity to witness a beam of sunlight shining down from the cave ceiling, illuminating the large Buddha statue (Luang Pho To), a sacred symbol of Phetchaburi province.

On the way back, I took the same small shared taxi. There is a queue of taxis available all the time. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Transportation 🚗

The journey from Bangkok takes the Bangkok-Phetchaburi route, using Phetkasem Road or Highway 4. When you reach Phetchaburi Province at the Cha-am interchange, driving straight ahead will lead you to the base of Khao Wang. At the three-way intersection, turn left. Continue straight for approximately 2 kilometers to reach the Khao Luang ascent. Alternatively, using GPS on your mobile phone is recommended for convenience.

Tourists interested in visiting Khao Luang Cave Temple can do so between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM. For more information, please contact the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Phetchaburi Office, at 032 471 005-6.
