Location

The Tham Pak Piang Priest's Camp Site is to the north of Ban Tham. Follow the road past Tham Chiang Dao and then take the right hand fork (left leads to Tham Pha Plong). The road to the Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary bears round to the left with the gate into this temple straight on. This cave is in the hill to the north of the temple. Martin Ellis - 26/06/2019

Description

Martin Ellis - 26/06/2019

A 20 m x 15 m entrance chamber leads to a maze of narrow passages on two levels joined by 4.5 m pitch. In 1985 the main chamber contained a white Buddha, but by 2005 the cave appeared to have been abandoned and the white Buddha was gone.
