Wat Thammikaram Worawihan in Prachuap Khiri KhanIf you go in the morning or late afternoon you will encounter a large number of wild macaque monkeys both on the stairs on the way up and inside the hilltop temple itself. The monkeys are not dangerous if you don’t do anything to provoke them. Feeding the monkeys or trying to touch them is not advisable. From the temple at the top you get a 360 degree view of the surrounding countryside. On a clear day the views are absolutely superb and you can take some excellent photographs with the moneys and temple in the foreground with panoramic vistas behind.
