Location

1.5 km east of Khao Luang on the H2140 turn southward, along the west side of the hill. After 400 m on a gravel road one reaches a cleared area where there is a simple campsite. The cave opens at the foot of the cliff. Martin Ellis - 24/03/2020

Description

Martin Ellis - 24/03/2020

At the entrance is a bamboo gate from where one descends a few metres to the cave. The cave opens up to become a large passage of 15m wide by 15m high and ends in a big chamber with some large speleothems. At both ends of the chamber there are smaller continuations. We met a monk living in front of the cave and he told us that it is connected to Pha Bao cave. I didn't think to ask if he had ever followed that path, or just suspected this is the case.
