Tham Khao Din - KR0170

Martin Ellis - 02/11/2019

This is the main cave in the grounds of the wat and it is gated. The entrance is 10m wide by 5m high and the cave is as a large phreatic meander passage before closing down after 75m. To the left hand side of this entrance chamber a long set of wooden steps lead up to a bat chamber. At the back of the entrance chamber the cave closes down and eventually chokes. A few metres back from the choke a 2m wooden ladder gives access to an oxbow which soon reaches a second entrance on the other side of the hill. The cave is used by monks from the wat for meditation. There are several caves in the hill above the wat.
