Khao Yoi Cave

Khao Yoi is the white eminent limestone mountain close by the road. Inside the cave, there are many Buddha images of several sizes, especially the big reclining Buddha, and the Buddha footprint enshrined in the cave. According to the history, those Buddha images were enshrined long ago before. The abbot of Thai Talat Temple-'Phra Kru On' renovated the place and installed more Buddha images.
