Princess Cave (Railay, Thailand - 04/03)

The Tham Phra Nang also called the princes cave, is an important shrine for
local fishermen. The legend says that a royal barge carrying an Indian
princess foundered in a storm here during the 3rd century BC. The spirit of
the princes lives now in the cave and grants favours to all who come to pay
respect. Local fishermen place carved wooden phalluses in the cave as
offerings in the hope that the spirit will provide plenty of fish.
