Visiting this attraction in January was a pleasant experience, complemented by the warm weather which made our one-hour walking tour enjoyable .The presence of numerous monkeys around added a unique and playful touch to the journey. Thankfully, they were quite peaceful and did not disturb us, which allowed us to appreciate their antics without any inconvenience. However, it’s important to note that the steps along the route can be quite slippery. Visitors should be cautious while walking, especially if the steps are wet. This is a vital consideration for safety, particularly for those who might not be as steady on their feet. The availability of refreshments at the entrance was a welcome feature, providing a convenient spot to hydrate and refuel before or after the walking tour.

Tourist attraction for people visiting Phuket. You can see monkeys in cave (don't try to feed them as they are wild and may harm you).

Monkeys are great fun to see. Lots of locals trying to get you to buy something, shop around or try bargaining for better monkey food offers. Bring cash as card is not accepted. Unfortunately, entering the cave is not free, it’s 20 baht per person no matter if part of your tour package or not.

It’s touristic and busy, but you find lot of not aggressive monkeys, a big laying buddha in a cave and another kinda big cave. 20 baht to enter is honest, not mandatory to buy food for monkeys. So it’s good if you pass by or if it’s included in some excursions with few spots.

Excellent place to visit. You can feed the monkeys as they gather by the mountain. Don’t buy food from the first shop ad you arrive as it is double priced compared to the ones by the mountains. Inside the Cave there are some Buddha statues, as well as a big one laying across the cave. The entrance is 20 bath. Women’s are not allowed to enter the cave in shorts or short dresses, legs must be covered as well as upper body. Overall, nice experience.

Smelly and rude staff at the entrance. Nice temple and have interesting things to see. A must see as tourist if you are nearby the area. Worth 10-15 min not more.

The temple is located in a cave. The cave is quite big and impressive! There are some monkeys, that you can feed. Reasonable entrance fee of 20 baht...

We had a poor Chinese tour guy, so we couldn't really enjoy the location, due to the lack of lights it's a bit hard to take proper pictures, but it's a great location. Also a heavy shower and no tourists during our visit made us feel good. There are plenty of monkeys 🐒 you can feed them too

This has a rich history of the Buddha religion. The caves are amazing to explore in the forest region. The vervet monkeys are everywhere and they climb on the rocks and trees and seem to enjoy having tourists come to visit them. You can even buy a fruit basket to feed them but do not expect them to be polite as the monkeys just snatch the food and eat.

There are multiple caves inside, the light cave and the dark cave. Pigeons stay inside the cave. It contains multiple items related to Buddha, which is very sacred to the Buddhist community. Entry is not allowed if you are wearing a short dress.

A Mesmerizing Adventure at Monkey Cave, Thailand! Visiting Monkey Cave was an unforgettable experience during my trip to Thailand! This hidden gem is a must-see for nature and adventure enthusiasts. Nestled amidst lush greenery and limestone cliffs, the cave is not only home to fascinating rock formations but also a playful troop of monkeys that added an extra dose of excitement. The journey to the cave itself was an adventure, with a short hike, Once inside the cave. I was awe-struck by the stunning stalactites and stalagmites that seemed to form magical sculptures. The highlight, of course, was the interaction with the adorable monkeys. However, it's essential to be cautious and follow the guidelines provided by the local authorities to ensure a safe and respectful encounter with these intelligent creatures. The atmosphere inside the Monkey Cave is serene, and the sense of being surrounded by nature's wonders is unparalleled. I would recommend bringing a good camera to capture the beauty of this place. Also, wearing comfortable footwear is a must as the terrain can be uneven. In conclusion, if you're looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure that combines natural beauty, wildlife, and a bit of thrill, Monkey Cave in Thailand is the perfect destination. Note: This review is based on my personal experience during my visit in July 2023. Please check for current updates and travel advisories before planning your trip.

What an awe-inspiring wonder. To think of the history and reverence in the caves. Great stop on the temple tour. Just be ready to climb 260 steps.

Wat Suwan Khuha/Wat Tham (Temple Cave)/Monkey Cave Temple. It is an important ancient temple of Phang Nga Province.It serves as a functioning and revered place of worship for local Buddhists and has a reclining Buddha idol inside the cave. You can feed monkeys here. As it's a temple, have to follow the dress code.

An amazing cave full of Buddha images. There a supposed to be monkeys everywhere, inside and out. Certainly this was the case with my first two visits, several years ago, but this time, (Feb. '23) I saw none inside, and a grand total of two outside on a rock. I had purchased bananas and corn to feed them, and had to give the vendor the bag back minus one banana that I left on the ground!

We arrived in the later part of the day. Which was a great idea, we missed the busy time and had great view of the Buddha. Don't get convinced to buy monkey food, they really eat enough due to everyone feeding them. Monkeys are really timid, not the kind that I have seen before. The entrance is grand but is due for a repaint and refurbishment. You literally in the cave up a steel staircase and then it's done. So, not much time is needed here. If you are deciding what to do and Monkey cave is one of these choices I would skip this one.

A quiet place and feeding monkey & pegions will be a good experience. Entry fee is 20 Thai baht per person.

Worth a visit - a beautiful Buddha cave temple full of stalactites and stalagmites coming together to add to the appeal of the place. We started off our James Bond island tour with a trip to this cave, and had to rush through as we were on a tight schedule. But the little time we spent here was worth the view.

Was okay not sure why it is called Monkey Temple we only saw one Monkey but about 50 Pidgens, very small cave the laying down budda was impressive but the walk to the light and dark cave not really worth it as dark and slippery with not much to see at the top.

Wild monkeys!! Plenty of vendors selling little bananas to feed them (prices vary so shop around). Amazing cave temples with many statues.

Awesome place to visit. Monkeys mostly friendly and you can hand feed

Nice place to see monkeys. Monkeys are quite friendly here especially if you feed them. Entry was free of cost. There is a temple also inside with caves full of bats to see. The place closes before 5pm so plan your visit accordingly. It takes approximately 1 hr to see the entire place. Not too much rush during weekdays.

It was ok, plenty of Monkeys to see in the temples and around. Places around you can buy food to feed them and they are tame enough to feed. The temple itself is stunning.

Great experience. This temple was part of the James bond island tour from Phuket.

Nice cute monkeys that aren't violent. They just want to be fed. A massive amount of pigeons around too. There are a row of cart shops that sell food for the monkeys and birds so you can buy them easily. We were there for a little bit and did not get to go into the cave.

The place has full of monkeys and there is a big buddha inside of it Good to take a look for stop over, not going to see this cave only though

We where on our way from Phuket to Koh Samui and had a break here. The cave is beautifull and the buddha is a nice one. You can also see flying bats. And of course there are many monkeys which eat bananas out of your hand. So it was a very pleasant stop.

The cave had a large lying Buddha in it, plus other Buddhist shrines. The monkeys here are not aggressive as they are fed with bananas. The entry fee into the cave was 20Baht.

Its a beautiful place to have a stopover in during day trips around the area. We followed a thai guy to the right of the cave to see more monkeys and a cave with over 1000 bats which was amazing. Make sure to go right before entering the cave and following the path you will see a cave to the left go in it to see the bats, the monkeys are not always there but you need to call them and many will come.

It's a Buddhist temple carved inside this huge rock. Statues inside are nice to see. Worth paying the 20 bath price of entry.

Went here as part of a james bond island tour from Krabi. Nice cave temple with some monkeys around the entrance for you to see and feed.

Fun to feed the monkeys and see the temple 🛕

The Monkey Cave is a short drive from Phuket. Totally worth it! There is a designated feeding area for the monkeys and local vendors who sell bananas and peanuts for feed. The monkeys are still wild animals and please remember you are in their home. No kicking or pushing the monkeys! Use some common sense and you will have a wonderful time. Be careful of your bags of food purchased... They will steal anything they want!

Amazing find. We had a stopover here while on a James Bond island tour. Wild Monkeys everywhere. There are also signs everywhere warning against feeding the monkeys but several people still did. Definitely keep an eye out as the monkeys will steal from you. We saw so many monkeys it was incredible. There are a lot of shop owners trying to lure you into buying from them. Somewhat of a tourist trap, but amazing and worth it. The cave itself has a ton of Buddhist statues as well as a reclining Buddha. Had a great time. Were only here for 30 minutes but was one of the highlights from the tour! Just check out the photos.

The Buddha is really big, and the limestone caves are well worth the 20฿ cost of admission. There is a sign at the entrance saying "don't feed the monkeys", but a bit further back from that there are vendors selling bananas and corn for the monkeys for ~50฿. If you decide to buy some, hold onto the bag very tightly - one tried to make off with the whole bag while we were holding out a banana to another. Don't touch the monkeys, and let them come to you + take the food from you. Hold it in a flat hand and let them take it. Do NOT try and pull it away from them - they can get angry + aggressive. They are very cute.
