Attraction

Wat Tham Mangkorn Thong, or the Cave Temple of the Golden Dragon (five kilometres from Kanchanaburi). The most notable feature is a nun who meditates in a pool; to see her you need to pay 200 baht. The first nun who began meditating in the water has died, but her practice has been continued. From the caves above the temple there are panoramic views over the valley and mountains.
