Cave LA0085

Location
Take the steep one-lane road up to Wat Chalerm Prakiat which is paved, but probably needs 4WD. Go as far as you can, then park and walk up on steel steps and pathway to the chedis at the top of the hill. Take the last turning on the left onto a foot path before reaching the main compound at the top of th hill. Go for 20m, passing a large bee colony on the rock on the right. The path should go between two 7-8m high peaks and end at the shaft entrance.
Description
The entrance looks like the top of a rift passage at least 15m in depth and 2-3m wide. It can be down climbed 6-7m (not advised), but then requires rope.What looked like the bottom could be seen after descending a fewl metres. There are several smaller caves on the same hill, some with nice formations.
