Description

Martin Ellis - 01/07/2020

This is a small, but superbly decorated, cave in the same doline as the Tham Mae Lana upstream entrance. A narrow entrance right next to the track opens out after 30 m into a medium-sized chamber with almost every available surface covered by active speleothems. A path leads straight ahead to another larger, but less decorated, chamber behind.
