Here are some maps I put together for the grounds of Wat Tum Sua. If you click the image you'll be taken to a large image you can read. If you still can't read it - click the image again and it should blow up to maximum size. These map images are 900 x 400 pixels.

Tips if you are planning on visiting Wat Tum Sua in Krabi:

1. The temple area is considered sacred. Men, and of course ladies, please do not remove your shirts anywhere on temple grounds. The temple has relaxed standards with regards to wearing shorts and sandals, but shirts are mandatory.

2. If you choose to climb the 1,237 stairs to the top of the mountain when you arrive at the top please remove your shoes before going onto the ceramic tile area on the top level. There is a sign, but it is unclear and in Thai. Please remove all shoes. Socks are OK at the top.

3. Please don't spit, yell, swear, argue, fight, or be disruptive on the temple grounds.

4. Buy some bananas to feed the monkeys in the convenience store on the temple grounds!

5. The monkeys can be aggressive. They go through moods. In the early morning before 10:00am you might find them aggressive. They are hungry. They may jump on you if you have a bag or are eating something in front of them. Don't eat in front of them unless you intend to share. If you want to eat please do so in the front of the temple area as the monkeys are usually toward the steps leading up the mountain and the in the rear of the temple.

If a monkey is aggressive with you, look away - don't stare as that makes them angry. If it jumps on you, just pull your face away and hand it the food. Move slowly, I've never seen one bite a person.

6. If you're coming for sunset you might want to bring a flashlight for the trip down the steps. It's safe to stay at after dark at the top but you will need a flashlight since there are very few (sometimes none) lights on the stairway. 7-11 sells small 60 baht flashlights that work perfectly. Pick one up, you'll be glad you did. It makes it easier to explore some of the other caves in Krabi as well.
