Location

The Khlong Khun Huai Tum stream crosses under the road just west of a monastery. At the crossroads 200 m to the west of the monastery a track leads north towards the cliffs and can be followed for 500 m to a field. The resurgence is a further 300 m to the east at the base of the mountain. Khlong Khun Huai Tum resurges out of a large boulder field covered in thick vegetation. Martin Ellis - 22/05/2019

Description

Martin Ellis - 22/05/2019

No cave entrances were found during a quick look in August 2002. However, a local farmer related the following concerning three caves in the area: the first cave is in the boulders above the resurgence and ends at a sump [Tham Khlong Khun Huai Tum Lek]; the second is a phreatic tunnel to the south ending in deep static water [Tham Khlong Khun Huai Tum Yai]; the third is at the base of the cliff above the resurgence which no one has entered despite being able to hear falling/flowing water inside.
