In 1890, the Kuha Karuhas pavilion was constructed inside of a cave for King Chulalongkorn's visit. It is a very spectacular sight, and a must see. It was carefully designed so the light shines onto a small plain inside of the cave to give it a more 'godly' feel.

The Greeks called this region "in the heavens above", due to the formation of the rocks that took shape 60 million years ago. These unique monasteries are constructed on pinnacles of rock that were a result of earthquakes and weathering. Excavations all around this region in the caves also discovered radiocarbon which evidences human presence that dates as far as 50,000 years. A truly unique area.
