Location

About 2 km south-west of Muang Na in the northern part of Pha Daeng National Park. A rough track through fields leads around the base of the cliffs to within about 200 m of the caves, although it is still a steep climb up to the entrance. This cave is at the base of the cliff immediately below Tham Klang Muang 1. Martin Ellis - 29/06/2019

Description

Martin Ellis - 29/06/2019

Two small entrances lead down into a complex chamber on several levels with several small side passages, none of which extend for more than 20 m. Fragments of teak coffins in an advanced state of decay are scattered throughout the cave, including some carved coffin heads similar to those found in Pang Ma Pha, but smaller. A curious feature are the Y-shaped carved teak timbers which used to be standing upright with a horizontal piece between them, as can be seen from the negative imprint of algae growth on the cave wall behind them.
