🇹🇭 THAILEX VDO Wat Khao Cha Ngok

Wat Khao Cha Ngok (วัดเขาชะโงก), also transliterated Wat Khao Cha-ngohk, is a Buddhist temple located on a mountain overlooking the Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy (CRMA) in Nakhon Nayok (นครนายก) Province in Central Thailand. The temple consists of several attractions, such as a cliff with a mural of the Phra Phutthachai (พระพุทธฉาย) Buddha image wearing a brown robe and of which it is said to be in ‘various poses’ and named after a similar image painted on the wall of a cave at Wat Phra Phutthachai (วัดพระพุทธฉาย) in Saraburi (สระบุรี); a waterfall known as Nahm Tok Khao Cha Ngok (น้ำตกเขาชะโงก); old overgrown jungle dwellings and other edifices; a section with statues of various animals; statues of the protagonists from the Chinese epos Journey to the West, and some royal figures from Thai history; a hilltop shrine with statues of tigers and hermits, who in Thai are called reusi (ฤาษี), as well as stunning panoramic views of the area, including the CRMA complex; and a mondop (มณฑป) with the Buddhapada (พุทธบาท) or 'actual' footprints of the Buddha, which is accessible by a long naag (นาค) or naga-staircase. Adjacent to the mondop is a large standing Buddha statue in a brown robe and in a standing pose crafted to resemble the mural of the Buddha on the cliff below. Whereas the waterfall is adjacent to the main temple area, the hilltop shrine and mondop are a good climb away from it, but in part accessible by a steep road that at times requires low gear use.
