Thailand: Sign indicating how many steps there are to the summit, Wat Tham Seua, Krabi Town, Krabi Province, Southern Thailand. Wat Tham Seua, the 'Temple of the Tiger Cave' is built into a cave set in a limestone cliff. Surrounded by individual monk's residences, this is one of southern Thailand's best-known forest temples. The main viharn or assembly hall extends into a long, shallow limestone cave displaying various grim reminders of mortality as a counterbalance to worldly desires. At the back of the cave a flight of marble stairs lead up to the 'tiger cave' itself.
