2 Best Sights in Phuket and the Andaman Coast, Thailand

Wat Tham Suwan Khuha, also known as the The Buddha Cave, is an impressively large cavern filled with a broad and beautiful variety of Buddha statues. It's mostly known for its giant gold statue of a reclining Buddha, before which a stage is set so visitors can light incense and pray under his gaze. There are an abundance of gray monkeys around here, so if you want to interact, have some peanuts, bananas, or coconut handy—but be warned, they can be very grabby. There are several tourist stalls around selling snacks and other items such as jewelry and souvenirs.

Tham Lot is a large limestone cave with an an opening to the sea large enough for boats to pass through. It can be explored by canoe or an inflatable boat to see the impressive stalactites and stalagmites, some as long as 100 meters.
