    If you think you've taken the wrong road then you've come to the right place. A local young man has offered himself as a guide to the cave. At the latest when he smoked a joint halfway to the cave, I knew that the guy was totally stoned. he was constantly talking to himself and not only smelled of smoke ... The path leads to and through a stream. The stones are extremely slippery and so is the mud. Also watch out for spiders, thorns and roots that you can get caught in. The cave itself is ok but by no means special. There are extremely smooth wooden ladders and a footbridge inside the cave. My attention was primarily focused on not slipping and hurting myself. When inside the cave the guide asked me if we wanted to "lie down" together the fun was over. I do not recommend the tour for solo travelers. Even if nothing happens most likely, the constant uneasy feeling reduces the joy. Risk - Benefit Analysis -> only in one group if at all.

    100 bahts for entrance. It takes about 45 minutes through jungle to get there. There are no roads. It is quite dangerous. When we get to the cave we were very disappointed, because there is absolutely nothing. Just a few metera long cave. We met there a guide with another two tourist and when we were following them, the guide told us: 500 bahts. So we had to wait until they leaved, otherwise we had to pay him for nothing. I actually do not understand the good reviews here.

    As mentioned in other reviews, be sure to where suitable shoes as there are many slippery rocks and steep ladders and a short section of crawling so don't wear your sunday best. Excellent cave, would only be improved if the tour guide had more scientific information about the formation of the caves but the guide we definitely had an excellent sense of humor and was excellent. Many spiders, huge grasshoppers and of course the bats at the end. Be sure to bring water.

    Great tracking up to the caves through the jungle. The cave we saw weren't that large but great for 3 children age 6, 3 and 2. It took approximately two hours to walk forth and back. We took a taxi from the hotel to the "ticket office".

    DON'T BOTHER IT'S 100B EACH OR 250B EACH FOR A GUIDE 🀣🀣🀣🀣 FOR NOTHING, LUCKILY I GOT A REFUND BECAUSE WE DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE THE CAR PARK. Go to the Waterfall down the road instead it's 40B to park a bike and the rest is free. Easy really enjoyable hike and if you're adventurous enough like me you can get to the top of the Waterfall via a pathway to the right just before the huge fallen tree. You'll be rewarded with a deeper private pool of water to swim in. Enjoy!

    So as I was getting close to the start of the trail some young lad flagged me down and asked if I was looking for tiger caves, I said I was and he told me to follow him, so we parked up and he said it was 100b to go up the trail, so I paid the lad and he guided up a track next to a load of water pipes up to the caves which were ok’ish, then on the way back he decided to drop it on me that the guide was 100 there and 100 back, I agreed to this as I probably would have gotten lost without him, as we were nearing the finish line we decided to settle up and I didn’t have enough in small notes so I asked if he had change, which he said he did and took 1000b of my money and nipped off to his bike to get me my change, I never saw the lad again….

    Absolutely not worth it! The guide could not speak English, and was almost running to end the tour quickly. He explains quite nothing. To hear the only 3 sentences he has for you, you better be right next to him, because he does not explain it to people behind. His only real interaction with tourists is putting spiders on them. It is more of a trail than a cave visit. 30 min walk in the jungle (that's the nice part), 20 min in the cave and then the way back walking (same path...). Regarding the cave itself. Nothing interesting here !! The cave has really nothing special. Just a cave... And no explanation about it. Better not be claustrophobic, cause the only thing is crawling in small tunnels. As a resume, this is way to expensive for what it is. I recommend not going. But if you wish to, wear good shoes and clothes you do not value. The only interest is to crawl in a cave, if you are not claustro.

    One of the best place to visit in Krabi. I was here because I organized a scooter trip (130 km) from Ao Nang. The Tiger Temple Cave is magnificent. If you want you can hike the mountain along a 1256 step stairway to the top!!! Along the path the are a lot of monkeys BE CAREFULL the take (stolen) everything put with you water... and DON'T FEED the monkeys!!! The place it's well known by the locals and a lot of people visit it everyday. There is a magical atmosphere in this temple. I recommend to visit it at the sunset because on the top there is a special 360 view.

    I tried to find the entrance to the tiger cave by my self in rain season - but didn't found it. There was no guide or anybody around so I went into the Jungle alone for about 30 minutes. Where the path starts it's pretty easy to go and there are ropes that show you the way. But later on there aren't any signs and the small path often is interrupted by fallen trees etc. You also have to cross the little river multiple times so you have to get your shoes off. Finally I had to return because I didn't found the way to the cave. So my advise is to try in dry season together with a local guide.

    According to locals, this cave is closed following some safety concerns reported to the police. The cave is on the national park property. Apparently a girl went alone some time back and had something stolen from her while she was gone. The cave now doesn’t offer tours.

    Incredible and dangerous, best to take a tour guide as the cave goes very very deep and branches out so can easily get lost, take a head torch and a helmet

    It's still closed. The road takes to the dead end.

    A Young man flagged us down and took us up a road to park our scooter for the cave and informed us that the parking and entrance was 300 baht for 2 people. After taking our money he swiftly disappeared whilst we noticed the path he had gave us directions to was a dead end.

πŸ‘ Just today I visited this cave) it is a unique way to spend a holiday in Koh Lanta. They used to have guided tours to the cave and inside, but now they don’t have, so if you wanna visit you go at your own risk. The hike itself is medium-hard challenging. At some places you need to climb steep stairs...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ My favourite bar on Koh Lanta. If you're looking for a beach bar, with a beach around you and the sea, come here. If you prefer a proper restaurant setting like at restaurants back home, then go back home. The PiΓ±a Colada is to die for and pad Thai and chicken burgers are absolutely fantastic!

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Went today. Was quiet and peaceful. Meditation is at 11.30am and again at 7pm. If you like to stay there, there accommodation available. For women there is a nun to help you but they require you to wear white clothing, dress like a nun. It's nice there in the forest away from traffic.
