Tham Wisai Tai [CP0119]

Location

Take Highway 41 south from Chumphon Town for about 30km. When you see the Chumphon Horticulture Research Center (10.330363,99.092943) on the right take the next u-turn. Head north about 500m and take the first road to the left. Take this road for 8km till you see a school (10.381659,99.050162) on your left and take the track immediately after the school. There is a small blue sign in Thai indicating the way to the cave. Follow the track for about 1 km and take the second track to the right. Google maps does not show this track, however you will see another small blue sign indicating the way. This track leads you round to the base of the mountain where there are some buildings. The path up to the cave is at the end of the buildings, where you should see some electrical cables going up. Before making the climb up check with the Monk that the lighting has been turned on. The climb to the cave is moderate to difficult and in the rainy season can be a bit slippery. A rope handrail has been put up in places. Martin Ellis - 01/08/2019
