Wat Kuhapimuk

Located 8km west of town on the road connecting Yala to Hat Yai (Rte 409), this Srivijaya-period cave temple features a reclining Buddha that dates back to AD 757. A statue of a giant guards the temple’s entrance, and inside small natural openings in the cave’s roof let in the sun’s rays to illuminate a variety of ancient Buddhist cave drawings. The temple is a highly important pilgrimage site.
