Ajarn Klai of Wat Tham Talot


The wide cave of Wat Tham Talot, Songkhla province, has meditation chambers and pools to collect the dripping cool mountain water.
Ajarn  Klai is the abbot of Wat Tham Talot, Songkhla province. He has recently been promoted to Phra Kru rank. Wat Tham Talot is an interesting mountain temple with many caves to explore.
