Location
The cave is located on the left hand side of the road from Ban Chiang Dao to Ban Huai I Ko in the area where the rocks come closest to the road after passing through the village of Ban Pang Daeng.
Description
The main entrance faces south, and is 2m high by 2.5m wide and descends into a spacious chamber, from which you can find a narrow passage to reach the large chamber. To the west of the chamber a low passage leads to a small entrance. From the entrance chamber the way on is down to the right which soon comes to a crossroads. To the left the passage soon ends at an undescended P8. Straight ahead there is a way on through a small gap in the jammed boulders to another passage which soon reaches a small chamber with an aven in the ceiling from which there is a passage to the next chamber which has not been full explored. Back at the crossroads the passage tp the right leads to a large chamber (20m x 10m x 6m), the floor of which is covered with boulders and fine debris. At the end of the chamber a short ascending passage reaches the second entrance. Back at the point where the passage from the crossroads enters the large chamber, in the ceiling, is the start of a nicely arched passage that loops back to aven near the crossroads.
