Everything on this page comes from Google and the venue itself, which is exactly what every other listing site has. There is no verdict from me because I have not been through the door — and I would rather say so than write something that sounds like I have. It goes on the list.

Wat Tham Khao Prathun is a road-trip destination in Khao Noi, within the greater Pattaya area of Chon Buri, Thailand. It's rated 4.7★ on Google. Open daily, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM.

Wat Tham Khao Prathun is a cave temple in Khao Chamao district, Rayong — about two hours east of Pattaya, its shrines and statues built directly into a network of caves beneath striking rock formations. Visitors can wander through several caverns, climb to the top of the hill for the full experience, and share the grounds with a large troop of resident monkeys. Entry is free, the site is open daily from 8am to 5pm, and in the rainy season the flooded main cave is reached by boat.
