Location

This is a well known tourist attraction and is fairly well sign posted. From Khon San, on the H12 road, go north-west through Ban Phu Pha Man and head towards the limestone massif to the north. Alternatively the sign posts can be followed from the H201 road a few kilometres north of the junction with the H12. Martin Ellis - 29/09/2019

Description

Martin Ellis - 29/09/2019

The large entrance passage leads to a chamber, but a large fence and gate stops access to the bat roost beyond. There is also a higher entrance as many of the bats leave the cave via the top of the hill. Every evening there is a large exit flight by the bats which takes about 30 minutes.
