Location

Wat Tham Phra Sabai is well signposted from the H1, on the southern outskirts of Lampang, following the H1036 (also named the H1003). In the temple grounds there is a pond, with limestone rock and boulders at the base of some steps. Tham Yen is at the top of the steps. Martin Ellis - 06/12/2019

Description

Martin Ellis - 06/12/2019

There is a large Buddha in the middle of the short section of passage. A rift on the left at the back of the cave is home to bats and may connect to Tham Phra Sabai. The floor is tiled throughout, which makes it exceptionally slippery when the cave is wet and the visitor is barefoot.
