Location

LP0008, LP0009 and LP0010 are described by Hallett (1890) who descended the Mae Ping gorge en route from Chiang Mai to Bangkok in 1876. As the border apparently runs along the river these caves may be in Chiang Mai province. The area is now in Mae Ping National Park and the locations are approximate. From Hallet's description: "and a little further a spur, Loi Hin Poon, ends in a bluff 60 feet high, which has its face riddled with caves and adorned with stalactites." Martin Ellis - 28/03/2020
