Famous temple among the Chinese on Chinese new Year : Cave Shrine in Saraburee

Driving a bit further from Wat Phraputthabat, we arrived to "Rong Jee tham Pratun", directly translated to English as "Vegetarian cafeteria Pratun cave". At this cave, situated the Tiger god shrine. The shrine is located inside the cave and the vegetarian cafeteria is located in the front beside the shrine.
 From the picture, the entrance of the cave.

This shrine also sell one of the best tea I have ever tasted. It is the shrine's own herbal tea recipe. There are tea tank all over the place offer to the visitors. You can choose either hot/cold tea. If you like, you can also buy the pack of tea back home. 





Inside the cave, there are several small shrines situated all over the cave spots.



Another spot, there is the pagoda, built during the King Rama the fourth. Inside the temple, there is also the holy water which people usually take some and pour it on their head, or wash their face for their good luck.

Not only it is the shrine, this place is also the old people house. Every Chinese New year, they will come out sit on the chairs and wait for the kind minded people to donate some money to them.
