Dominating the skyline of the humble provincial capital of Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand is this mountaintop temple. Visible from almost anywhere in the whole town, a series of wooden stairs lead forward the way up the rocky outcrop to it peak. Oftentimes it is dominated more by monkeys and soi dogs than by the monks or tourists traversing the stairs.
The name of the mountain translates to Mirror Tunnel Mountain because of a hole in the hill through which you can see the sky. Two times here, and I still have never noticed this feature.

you amused me with “…Oftentimes it is dominated more by monkeys and soi dogs than by the monks or tourists…” – dogs and monkeys like culture too!
I suppose they do. Still, it’s funny to see the Thais fighting off the monkeys and vice versa.
