At first we thought we could just drive to the top of this 550 meter elevation mountain, but then we discovered that we had to WALK to the top. We took 2 new friends with us and began the ascent of 1,260 cement steps. The tall mountain stairways seemed endless and we took many rests before reaching the top. The steps were also very dangerous at some points with very high risers and small areas for your feet. There were also some monkeys at one point and one of them took my water bottle! It took us nearly 2 hours to get to the top. Once we arrived at the top, the views were spectacular! The temple itself was not so great and there were many antennae that took away much of the beauty.…

With the dearth of tourists this is one attraction worth going to now as the narrow stairway is quiet - lots of room to pass. To get to the top you have to climb 1,260 steps all of them quite steep. Going down can be dangerous so be careful. I used to be a very keen hill walker and my experience helped. I am now pushing 70 and not fit. Once you start feeling tired stop and rest; do not push yourself. If you feel dizzy sit down. There is room at the top of each flight to rest on the return. Going back down reduce the impact on your knees by using the handrail. On the bigger steps I used two hands coming down sideways. 40 minutes up, 25 down, not a record but I enjoyed the visit. And lots to see at ground level apart from the tiger cave itself.…

It is one of a kind place. The hiking up the stairs is very challenging but the view at the top is worth it. Down inside the temple do not forget to walk behind the hill shown as 'Wonderland'.

1260 steps to the top. Not the most friendly stairs to climb. What a view at the top. The climb up is tough, the climb down can be tricky, be careful.

This place was beautiful with amazing panoramic views of Krabi and free (except for a donation which I encourage you to consider). I can't stress enough that you must take a large bottle of water and be careful of the monkeys. An umbrella or stick may be advisable but not essential. Water is paramount with 1200+ steep steps. Not suitable for people with vertigo or who can't exert themselves physically for an hours up hill (slowly) climb. Plenty of toilets and rubbish bins. Please be careful when wet. Persevere as the view at the top is breathtaking. One of the most beautiful views in Thailand. …
