Location
This is a dry, fossil upper level to the Tham Nok Nang En system between the 5th and 6th karst windows.
Description
From the lower entrance in the 6th karst window a large fossil passage heads north. After 150m there is a pitch, estimated to be 50m deep, that probably connects with the underlying Tham Nok Nang En 3. The final 40m of passage to the upper entrance in the 5th karst window involves a dangerous traverse along the eastern wall. In 1999 a fixed rope of unknown vintage had been installed here.
