Location
The Tham Pak Piang Priest's Camp Site is to the north of Ban Tham. Follow the road past Tham Chiang Dao and then take the right hand fork (left leads to Tham Pha Plong). The road to the Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary bears round to the left with the gate into this temple straight on. Inside the temple grounds the cave is in the cliff to the right (south).
Description
The cave is heavily developed and used by a monk who speaks very good English. It is said to connect with Tham Pak Sung which is on the other side of the same rock outcrop
