Finding the entrance
Navigate to the Krabi Wat Tham Suea location, not the similarly named temple in Kanchanaburi.
Parking on arrival
Parking is generally available at the base, but spaces and traffic arrangements can change on busy days.
Scooter caution
Only ride if appropriately licensed and experienced. Wear a helmet and be alert to rain and road conditions.
Before departing
Set a return route, carry water and avoid driving when exhausted by the staircase climb.
Suggested walking route & order of stops
Navigate to Wat Tham Suea in Krabi, park where directed and enter the monastery on foot before the staircase.
Architecture, landscape & photography viewpoints
From the lower grounds, temple roofs and the hill provide useful establishing photographs.
Before you go: practical checklist
Do not leave valuables visible in a parked vehicle; rest before a long drive after climbing.
