The inside of this cave features tiger prints captured in stone, and is in the middle of a lush forest, with enormous, ancient trees. As well as serving as a temple, this site is also very significant archaeologically, as many artifacts have been found on the premises, including tools, pottery, and the mold for the Buddha's footprint. In addition, there are several other caves in the surrounding hills. Amphoe Klong Thom, Wat Khlong Thom Museum : This local museum in a temple compound is located 1 kilometre from Khlong Thom District Office, between Km. 71 and Km. 72 of Highway No. 4. The museum features various kinds of artefacts that were discovered during the excavations within an archaeological site called" Khuan Luk Pat" or a bead mound behind the temple.
