Description

Wat Tham Krabok, or the Temple of the Bamboo Cave, is a Buddhist temple in the Phra Phutthabat District of Saraburi Province. The temple was established in 1957 CE. There are many large Buddha images on the temple grounds. Wat Tham Krabok hosted Hmong refugees in a camp on its grounds following the end of the Vietnam War in the late 1970s. Most of the Hmong, participating in the Secret War, fled Laos, alleging that they were persecuted by the communist government that has ruled Laos since 1975 CE. The temple received also global attention for its heroin and opium drug rehabilitation programs. On the premises is a 90 metres deep cave.
