Description

Martin Ellis - 10/08/2019

Close to Tham Phaya Naak a magnificent amphitheatre of cliffs encloses a lush evergreen forest. The far end descends into a vast steeply sloping chamber 75 m long and 50 m deep with two separate entrances joining together at the back of the cave and a very high up window through which palms can be glimpsed. A semi-permanent muddy wallow at the bottom is frequented by wild animals such as serow after which the cave is named.
