Location
Wat Khao Somphot is at the end of the H4067, turning off the H2243 at 47P 738290 1679080. Tham Chedi is further along the same path from Tham Ram Wong and Tham Sing Tho. The path to the cave heads north from behind the temple buildings. It starts of as concrete steps and then levels out where the concrete ends. About 350 m from the temple there is a junction (with a sign and gravel on the ground), turn right and up the hill for about 50 m to the entrance.
Description
Some concrete steps descend into the cave. Straight ahead and down drops steeply, but soon ends. At the bottom of the steps there is a horizontal passage on the right. This ends after 35 m, but behind a stal boss there is a run in of boulders which can be ascend to where a small skylight is seen. At the base of these boulders is a drop down into 10 m of small passage that ends in a small, low chamber.
