This is a nice place to spend a few hours. Including the temple there is a museum. Sometimes there are traditional shows with leather pictures behind and in front a light screen. Every year on Sonkran, there is a big festival at this place. For tourists who like to see (learn about) Thai culture, is this a good opportunity.

We arrived at Wat Khao Chong Pran well before 5:30 p.m. and the bats didn't emerge until past 6:15 p.m. but the wait to see the millions of bats streaming from the cave was well worth it! Super impressive! The cave entrance is located about 4/5 of the way up the side of the mountain slightly to the right of the temple as you face the mountainside. Not sure if the bats always fly the same direction from the cave, but the day we were there, they flew to the right (east). Before the bats even emerge, a number of raptors appear on cue, circling and waiting in nearby trees for the bats to emerge. A few of the unlucky first bats to emerge get picked off as dinner for the birds, but there are literally millions to come out to devour the region's mosquitoes! The steady stream of bats emerging continues for at least 45 minutes. The best place for viewing the evening we were there was from the right side of the open grassy area, so you have a view of the bats against the sky. If I go back again, I may try climbing up to the cave entrance to get a close view of the raptors and the bats emerging.
