Location
About 2km east of Tham Kaeo Komon. At the visitor centre, continue straight on towards the mining site until you reach the Mae Hu stream. The caves are in a small forest temple 100m above the stream on the east side of the road.
Description
This small cave is maintained by a solitary dedicated monk. The 15m wide entrance chamber has been partly enclosed and a level concrete floor constructed. A 20m passage behind leads past a spartan bedroom cell to a large inner sanctuary with a tiled floor and a collection of statues on a raised platform.
