Coffin Cave CM0126 - CM0126
19.596874,99.044951
Location
This cave is entered via two obvious entrances located part of the way up a cliff on a isolated tower immediately north of Doi Pha Daeng, 4.5km south of Ban Nong Khaem.
Description
This is a short fossil cave fragment which contains the remains of several wooden coffins. The first entrance is a 2.5 m free-climb. The second entrance, located to the left, is accessed either by a difficult 3.5 m climb or by an ageing bamboo ladder. The former entrance enters the cave at its most northerly point and the main passage extends to the south of this, running parallel to the cliff face. The second entrance enters the passage after 22 m. Initially this passage is 5 m wide and strewn with large boulders, but after 50 m the passage closes down to a 1 m diameter crawl. This enters a chamber that was not surveyed as bad air was encountered. Shortly before this there is a raised platform on which there are several damaged coffins. Back in the main passage, between the two entrances, it is possible to gain a balcony 3 m above the ground, either directly via a difficult climb or via a 5 m chimney closer to the first entrance. From the balcony it is possible to reach a third entrance higher in the cliff.
