Singha Cave, formerly known as "Lion Cave," was shared with us by Uncle Phuan Silpasorn, a pioneer who has been involved since 1957. In the past, the area surrounding Singha Cave was a dense wilderness, a lush forest that served as a resting spot for locals gathering foraged items such as rattan, herbs, and wildlife. The cave is called "Singha" because the stalactites and stalagmites inside resemble a lion. It is believed that this lion-shaped stone is sacred and has been revered by the villagers for generations. In terms of local beliefs, the community holds that the lion-shaped stone possesses divine qualities. Villagers often make vows and requests at this site, and it is commonly said that their wishes come true. In gratitude, they bring offerings to fulfill their promises. Traditionally, popular offerings included monkeys or langurs, and some would even fire guns to salute the cave, depending on what they had vowed to bring as a thank-you offering. Most residents of this community migrated from central and western regions, such as Prachuap Khiri Khan, Phetchaburi, and Ratchaburi, while others are locals, including those from Koh Samui. Consequently, there is a rich blend of cultural influences from both the central and southern parts of Thailand, evident in spoken language, cuisine, traditional games, festivals, and beliefs. Over nearly half a century, this community has successfully fused these two cultural strands into a nearly seamless tapestry.
