Location
Higher up the same mountain as Tham Ruesi. There are several entrances located around the tower to the west.
Description
General description
The cave is complicated with many entrances at different levels, interconnecting via climbs, pitches and passages through 3D boulder chokes. The cave was not surveyed. Near the very top of the north side of the tower is a low, crawling sized entrance. This leads to a small chamber containing a large piece of a burnished pot. The rim of the pot is complete, but the bottom 40% is missing. Other, small pot sherds and bone fragments lie on the ground. The guide in 1997 said that the local village headman had two complete pots from this cave. The pots are human burial jars and may be several thousand years old.
