Tham Klang Muang 1 - CM0162

Martin Ellis - 29/06/2019

The cave itself presents no real difficulties, although care is needed to negotiate the numerous loose rockfalls and breakdown sections on the floor. However, the bamboo ladder up to the entrance needs to be critically examined before venturing forth as a sudden collapse could be fatal. If required guides are available from the RFD station 1 km south-west of Muang Na. The small entrance opens out into a level dry passage with a few active formations. The floors and ceilings have collapsed in several sections, indicating that the cave is in an advanced stage of development. Local villagers have installed a series of bamboo ladders up to the higher levels, probably for collecting bats or guano. The cave is reported to be over 1 km long.
