Tham Huai Khao - CH0024
16.388938,101.487179
Location
Tham Huai Khao is in the cliff above Tham Huai Nam Lad. The two entrances are 45m and 65m above Tham Huai Nam Lad.
Description
The top entrance leads to a large passage mainly filled with sand and boulders as far as a low stoop with a strong draught. The same place can be reached from the lower entrance by climbing up a 10m alluvial bank. The low stoop leads into 400m of very big walking passage to a T junction. The passage closes down in both directions with the draught probably coming down big avens in the roof. Two side passages and a high level, off the main passage, all end rapidly.
