Dragon Cave Temple

Hidden temple with mythical energy, unfortunetly already discovered.

The Dragon Cave Temple located in Phang Nga's hills presents itself as an entrance into a different dimension. People find at this place more than religious worship because it is an extraordinary place. A serpent naga statue stands as an ancient protector at the entrance of the mystical cave which stone paths from the forest lead visitors to discover.

Before the pandemic struck and paused the world this location remained a secret destination for travelers. Tourists rarely made it this far. Tourists who made the journey arrived independently by driving their cars or riding motorcycles because they heard about this place through personal recommendations. Visitors received a warm welcome at the temple summit where monks offered tea to guests. The guestbook maintained its silence through time as Thai pilgrims from allover Thailand.

Today, things are changing. Groups of tourists now visit the Dragon Cave Temple after organized tour companies discovered its location. Even though tourism has increased you will still find the same enchanting atmosphere at this place. A peaceful naga protects its secrets while the cave walls produce a silent humming sound.

The temple location attracts motorcyclists who enjoy its religious aura and the beautiful journey that leads to the temple through its low-traffic smooth routes through tropical landscapes. A road trip between Phuket and Khao Sok should include this temple as a perfect stop.

Travel tip: Visit during early mornings, low season because it helps you avoid tourist groups. When you step inside the cave make sure to take deep breaths because the complete silence will linger with you. Wear respectful clothing (shoulders and knees covered), and take a moment to breathe deep once you enter the cave - it’s the kind of silence that stays with you.
