Location
In Chaloem Rattanakosin National Park, a 10 minute walk from the park headquarters.
Description
The large stream exit quickly reduces in size, beneath a flowstone roof and stooping is necessary for about 15 m. After this the passage attains its typically large size, c.5-0 m high by 15 m wide for the rest of the cave. A path has been constructed through the cave and there is electric lighting. The cave meanders gently for 150 m to an obvious right hand bend. From here to the upstream entrance the floor typically consistes of large boulders.
