Phang Nga Town, the capital of Phang Nga Province, is a rather run-down town in a spectacular location that seems destined to be always overshadowed by booming, neighboring Phuket. There’s a great deal to do and see in the vicinity, most notably in beautiful Phang Nga Bay (see pxx), but very few visitors will choose to stay in town given the enticing – and frankly far more comfortable – accommodation available at the nearby beach resorts of Phuket Island.

The long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is also called the crab-eating macaque. It is native to Southeast Asia. There are at least ten subspecies and depending on subspecies, the body length of the adult monkey is 38-55 centimetres (15–22 in) with comparably short arms and legs. The tail is longer than the body, typically 40–65 cm (16–26 in). Males are considerably larger than females, weighing 5-9 kilograms (11-20 lb) compared to the 3–6 kg (7-13 lb) of female individuals.
Located some 10 km (6 miles) southwest of Phang Nga town, this cave-temple is particularly venerated by local people and ranks as one – indeed almost the only one – of Phang Nga town’s attractions beyond, of course, fabulous Phang Nga Bay.<br/><br/> Two small conjoined caves are packed with Buddha images of all shapes and sizes, including a reclining Buddha, various spirit flags and the statue of a seated hermit. At various times in the past the cave-temple has attracted royal visitors, and the royal seals of several past Chakri dynasty monarchs including Rama V (King Chulalongkorn), Rama VII and the current Rama IX (King Bhumibol Adulyadej).<br/><br/> The long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is also called the crab-eating macaque.
