15.169941,98.582845
Location
A 2hr walk from the Kong Mong Tha ranger station. A small stream can be followed to a base of a limestone cliff where there is a boulder choked resurgence. An upper entrance is located 10m above the resurgence.
Description
The entrance drops down into the stream just behind the boulder choke. After about 100m the first exploration was stopped by a 1.5m King Cobra standing its ground in a narrow section of cave with the stream way continuing beyond. On a return in 2004 this section was passed and the streamway was explored for a further xxxm to a 4m waterfall that was not ascended
