Location

Turn off on same dirt track in a village on the H1322 as CM0236 Tham Mae Ja. Follow this for 2.55km and turn right onto another dirt track. Go 100m and right turn onto a motorbike only track. Follow this through fields for 200m where a small stream is crossed. After the stream continue 50m to a field and a lone tree on the left side of the road. This is the starting point for an overgrown trail leading up to the cave. If the motorbike track is followed past the tree for another 30m there is a stream resurgence on the left side of the track coming from the hill on the right side. The cave entrance is directly above this resurgence about 20m up the hill. Martin Ellis - 07/07/2019

Description

Martin Ellis - 07/07/2019

The cave has a low entrance, but opens up past that point. About 20m in there is a 7-8m pitch and continuing past this the next chamber has some 5m pitches down small holes and a 5m pitch from a ledge where there was a bamboo ladder, which was not followed. The cave appears to continue with 5-10m high passage.
