Tham Ling - CM0110
19.636138,99.052698
Location
The entrance is located in an outcrop high on the slopes of a karst tower above, and to the north, of the village of Ban Nong Khaem. An exposed climb is required to access it.
Description
Just inside the entrance chamber a passage to the left leads to the head of a fine 12m pitch. Traversing on a narrow ledge around the top of this pitch leads to a large boulder strewn chamber with no way on. The way on at the foot of the pitch is through a narrow slot located behind a boulder. A number of routes appear to lead off fom the small chamber beyond this, but only one is passable: a descent, via a 6m pitch, into the terminal chamber. A number of side passages can be explored in here, but only one, beyond a squeeze at the foot of the pitch has any potential. A draught can be felt and a sizeable passage can be seen, but the squeeze would require enlarging to enable it to be entered.
