This dates to the Dvaravati period and the Buddha was covered with stucco. Only fragments of the halo remain today, along with parts of the Sala tree. There is also a bas-relief of three worshippers, 2.6 m, 2.3 m and 1.5 m high, carved at the same level as the Buddha's head, on the right side of the entrance. The cave was closed by a wall decorated with ceramics during the late Ayutthaya-early bangkok period and the worshippers appeared when the wall was removed in 1975. Some attempt is being made to preserve this cave in the face of extensive quarrying along the range which has already reached within 30-40 m, but the interior is covered with limestone dust. The cave was explored and surveyed by Claude Chabert and Claude Mouret on 27 December 1992. Anon.

In a temple about 2 km west of the H3089, 15 km north-west of Ratchaburi. A flight of steps leads up to the entrance, descending immediately inside to a series of joint- controlled passages about 5 m above the outside plain level. Lit by roof holes, a large seated Buddha dominates a 20 m wide decorated main chamber with several passages leading off; two of these lead to the bottom of 5 m open daylight shafts, while at the southern end of the cave are steps to a higher passage which hasn't been explored. The name 'Sarika' was given during a visit by King Rama V while the entrance has an inscription of Prince Panupan Wong Voradej. The cave was used as a set by a Thai soap opera in January 2011.
