Location
To find the cave drive to and park at Wat Khun Takhan ,which is 3 km south of Ban Chomphu. On the south of the track, just before you reach the wat, there is a large terraced tufa waterfall with a seasonal stream flowing out of a cave at the top. The stream is used as water supply by the monks.
Description
The canyon passage is 8 m high and 2 m wide and descends to a small sump pool. Locals report that during the dry season, when the stream has dried up, a cave can be entered. However, on several visits between 2002 and 2018 there has always been a small sump pool.
