5.0 Buahom Massage (1 review)
- Most thorough Thai massage I've had.
Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Spas

I've lived in Thailand for 2 years with regular massages and my experiences here have been the most consistent in quality. Call ahead an hour or so to arrange for the number of people in your party. My wife and I love the 1 1/2 hour Thai oil massage for about $12 USD. If you want a deep, vigorous massage, ask for Pa. Any of the ladies will do it harder or softer according to your needs if you tell them. Service is good with a lot of personal attention. The facility is not large but is cozier as a result. Lockers are provided and there is AC. See more..
5.0 Wat Tham Krabok (1 review)
- Truly beneficial place.
Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM Religious Sites

This place is not only a nice Buddhist temple but also Thailand's famous drug abuse treatment and rehabilitation center. Over 60 years of operation, it has already cured more than 100000 patients from all over the world. The 15 days therapeutic program (3000 baht expense for food and bed) included detoxification and analeptic with Thai herbs, Thai herbal steam, exercise, clean up the temple, practice meditation and listen to sermons. Patients each have only one chance to attend this treatment, since they have to take a sacred vow to abstain from drugs forever and commit themselves to a new life. At the time when we visited, we saw staffs (and monks) perform motivational songs to encourage patients to do detoxification. We also donated some money to staffs and the temple to support their willingness. Moreover, at the back of the temple, visitor can climb up a staircase (5 minutes) into a (dark) cave to worship Buddha images. Last but not least, there is an arena that contains many black Buddha statues arranged in a circle with 2 great Buddhas at the entrance and the mountainous background view. Such a mystical place !

4.5 Wat Phra Buddha Badh (38 reviews)
- A striking Temple with a notable Buddha footprint
Speciality Museums

Wat Phra Putthabat is situated approximately halfway between Saraburi and Lopburi, about a kilometre off Highway 1. It is very well signposted and you can't miss the impressive Avenue leading to the Wat. The main Temple is striking and is built around what is regarded as an exceptional example of a Buddha footprint. The Wat is set on a the side of a small hill with an impressive, wide gentle stairway that leads to the 'terrace' on which the pavilion is built. While not large it serene, ornately decorated and very interesting. It is well worth a visit if you are in the Saraburi area or travelling via Lopburi. The area is landscaped and shady; there are several reasonable, small restaurants and good toilet facilities near the carpark. See more..

4.5 Wat Pasawangboon (20 reviews)
- Beautiful landmark mid way between Kaeng Khoi & Nakhon Nayok
Religious Sites

Wat Pasawangboon is as I understand a Buddhist Retreat Temple. However it is also a strikingly beautiful landmark to visit roughly mid way between Kaeng Khoi and Nakhon Nayok, just a few Km East of Hwy 3222, GPS 14.4171 N, 101.1335 E. It is not well sign posted but the striking tall gold Stupa is clearly visible from some distance. An interesting large Reclining Buddha is under construction, so large it requires a tower crane!

4.5 Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex (7 reviews)
- Worth a Visit

Unless you have a few days to linger, I would suggest an organized all day tour as this is the best way to see multiple wildlife sightings. We used Greenleaf Tours and stayed at their budget guesthouse. Please see my review of Greenleaf Guest House for all the details. We saw populations of both white and black gibbons, several snake species and brilliant pink dragon flies at this UNESCO World Heritage Site to name a few. See more..

4.5 Krok E-Dok Waterfall (7 reviews)
- Krok E-Dok waterfall
Waterfalls

Off the beaten path, I went here with a group of 30 locals in September 2016 at the start of the rainy season. We hired local guides as the path to the top is overgrown. Total ascent time took about 2.5 hours at a slow pace with regular stops and descent was 2 hours. I'd say difficulty level is only 3 out of 5 (as an experienced hiker), with the first 75% a gentle slope but lots of crossing through the steams (you will get wet up to knee or waist height) and the final 25% quite a steep ascent, often needing to use your hands. Care needs to be taken as the path gets wet and can be quite slippery. One attraction here is the pink, champagne mushrooms (poisonous) which are quite beautiful. Then it's kwok e-dok waterfall itself which is quite a magnificent site but also fun to play in the pools (but a bit cold). Do take care as this is still quite a natural and undisturbed attraction. There are only a few ropes in a few places and the rest you'll have to hold on to bamboo or rock faces. Climbing to the top was a bit slippery as I didn't have the best sandals on so plan where you might fall as you don't want to be swept away down the waterfall. Fun day trip that's worth trying once if you get the chance. See more..
4.5 Wat Tham Phra Phothisat (6 reviews)
- The most amazing cave with lots of nooks and crannies, free, no tourists, lit up
Spent 2-3 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites

We stopped off here after a three day trip to Khao Yai. Our guide recommended this cave. There were no tourists, its free to get in and you just need to get the key from the monks (huge temple on the site) and turn on the cave lights Good footwear needed. There are two walks you can do a much longer one which goes between two mountains or the shorter one which we did. Its around 500m long but wow lots of stairs and tricky footwork. Some of our students struggled and a few were in tears but I loved it. The walk we did was the path of an older river so in parts it was flat and the start is a little tricky. Its a must if you are in the areas. The walls were spectacular and just inside the entrance our guide saw a massive tarantula spider which was covered in his web with his feet sticking out. Beware of the monkeys outside the cave I was carrying a bar of soap to the toilet to wash my hands after the cave trekking and the money run up to me and grabbed it from my hand and opened it from the box and started eating it. They could easily do the same with your mobile phone. The monkeys here are long-tailed ones. The stray dogs are pretty friendly and well looked after, See more..

4.0 Wat Tham Pra That Charoen (2 reviews)
- Tham Phra That Charoen (Tham Bo Pla)
Points of Interest & Landmarks

Tham Blo Pla as it is locally known, is a small temple cave in the side of a limestone monolith 8 km North of Kaeng Khoi. It is also known as Tham Phra That Charoen after the adjoining Wat. You enter the Cave by climbing a wide stairway up 5 m, through a foyer and then down another curved wide stairway until you are at ground level again but just inside the mountain which towers about a 100 metres over. There are numerous stalactites and stalagmites, some beautifully coloured, and natural skylights. There are 2 main chambers, the first has a large golden seated Buddha, the second chamber is entered via a short, narrow natural tunnel , where you will find another smaller seated Buddha, and the Bo Pla ( natural fish pond) which is symbolic of Buddha's Footprint. Both chambers are well lit Address : Ban Saphan Si, Mu 5 Tambon Thap Kwang, Amphoe Kaeng Khoi, Saraburi. GPS coordinates 14.653, 100.980. The Cave is not well signposted other than a sign on the front fence. It is only 2 km West from Wat Phuttabahat Noi, which is also well worth a visit and is sign posted. See more..
4.0 Wat Phra Phuttha Saeng Tham (1 review)
- Massive Buddhist temple complex -- a work in progress!
Spent 1-2 hours Religious Sites
Wat Phra Phuttha Saengtham is a huge complex of temple buildings set on 300 rai of land (nearly 50 hectares). The site is dominated by a massive new-age silver-colored structure in the elliptical shape intended to resemble an overturned monk's alms bowl. The elliptical dome stands some 40 meters high and is easily spotted from Highway 1 south of Saraburi. The temple construction was initiated in 2012, but many parts are still not completed. Many smaller buildings are completed, however, and the site has the capacity to hold thousands of devotees at a time. Even if you are not Buddhist or have religious inclinations, the grandeur of the construction and the interesting architecture are well worth a visit if you are in the area. See more..
