点评:Tiger Cave Temple is a must-see, but it is physically demanding. Here’s what you need to know:
Start Early: Go in the morning to beat the heat. It's easy to get there from Krabi Town using Grab.
Hydration: Look for the big red chest at the bottom of the stairs for free bottled water. Do not rely on the water station at the top—it was out of order during our visit.
The Climb: It’s exhausting. The steps are very steep (some up to 30cm high) and narrow. If you are feeling even slightly unwell, think twice—it’s a grueling trek.
Wildlife: Watch your belongings near the bottom due to monkeys. You might also encounter dogs napping on the steps.
Hygiene: Bring hand sanitizer and wipes. You’ll be using the handrails constantly, and they are shared by thousands of tourists and local monkeys.
The Reward: The views at the top are incredible, and the complex itself is an architectural wonder.
Downstairs is much easier and goes quickly. Don't forget to explore the monks' living quarters and the temple at the ground level as well.
翻译:虎穴寺是必游之地,但攀登过程对体力要求很高。以下是一些须知:
早点出发:为了避开酷暑,建议清晨前往。从甲米镇乘坐Grab即可轻松抵达。
补水:在台阶底部寻找红色大箱子,里面有免费的瓶装水。不要依赖顶部的饮水站——我们去的时候它坏了。
攀登:非常累人。台阶很陡(有些台阶高达30厘米)而且狭窄。如果您感觉身体不适,请三思——这是一段艰苦的跋涉。
野生动物:在靠近底部的地方要看好您的随身物品,因为那里有猴子出没。您也可能会看到狗狗在台阶上打盹。
卫生:携带洗手液和湿巾。您会频繁使用扶手,而这些扶手是成千上万游客和当地猴子共用的。
奖励:山顶的景色令人叹为观止,整个建筑群本身就是建筑奇迹。
下层游览轻松快捷得多。别忘了也去参观一下底层的僧侣住所和寺庙。
