phranang cave -
On the edge of Phra Nang Beach in the Krabi Province of Thailand, a
cave has been dedicated to a princess goddess named Phra Nang.
According to legend, Phra Nang was an Indian princess who was killed
in a shipwreck. In another tale, Phra Nang was the wife of a fisherman
who was lost at sea. She lived out the rest of her days in the cave,
awaiting her husband's return.
Today, local fisherman and boatmen leave offerings in Phra Nang cave
to ensure safe travel on the sea. These offers take the form of male
genitalia - the cave is covered in many "linga", or phallic-shaped
statues meant to represent the Hindu god Shiva. The offerings in Phra
Nang cave are especially realistic - the penises have discernible ridges
and heads. They are decorated with colorful cloth, and the cave is
filled with incense.

only about 17 KM from krabi town is
Wat Tum Sua (tiger cave temple)
you could choose to walk around the mountain to visit the cave or climb up the mountain to the shrine located at the top of the mountain
1237 steps up... but the view up there is worth the climb~
its very steep climb...
This area of the tiger cave and the area of the lower
cave entrance courtyard was, in previous times, the location which a
tiger used to seek refuge and sleep in the morning sunlight. At times
the tiger would let out a ferocious roar. This caused people, who came
to the forest to collect items or hunt for animals and heard the tiger’s
roar, to begin calling this area, “the Tiger Cave”.
Later, the venerable Luangpor Jumnean Seela Settho, chief monk of the
tiger cave temple, led a group of buddhist monks and nuns to live there
and pratice dharma, In B.E. 2518 or 1975 A.D., with the monks and nuns
having come to live in the area of the tiger’s retreat, the tiger
migrated in the direction of the phanom Mountain Range which extends
from the tiger cave hills and crags. since that time to the present, no
one has ever seen the tiger.
