Description
Tham Din Lai consists of two adjacent caves linked by a very small tunnel. The cave is formed in a sandy limestone. Cave 1 has 30m of passage which widens then a 5m crawl which opens into a 15m long chamber. A small hole at the end of the chamber dropped down a rift that wasn't explored. It has a total length of about 50m. Cave 2 consists of a single chamber about 20m long.
