Tham Khao Sam Bat (Cave)
It is believed that this is the place where as much as three
alms-bowls full of treasure was hidden. The cave is archeologically
significant as some ancient writing was found on the wall
of the cave. Prince Krom Phraya Narisara Nuwattiwong determined
that the writing was of the Ayutthaya period (1709-1732 A.D.).
Some ancient pieces of clay pots, sea shells and stone tools
were also found in 1980 by a team of archeologists from the
Department of Archeology, Silpakorn University and in 1990,
a drawing of what looks like three red mountains was discovered.
