Location

P0008, LP0009 and LP0010 are described by Hallett (1890) who descended the Mae Ping gorge en route from Chiang Mai to Bangkok in 1876. As the border apparently runs along the river these caves may be in Chiang Mai province. The area is now in Mae Ping National Park and the locations are approximate. Hallet describes that just before the first rapids above the Mae Ping gorge "a great rock pierced by two flat-arched caverns juts up from the bed of the stream. Martin Ellis - 28/03/2020
