Location
Khao Toh Chong rockshelter, is located about 10 km south of Tham Lang Rongrien, The site is a limestone overhang at the base of a 300 m high karst tower in Ban Thap Prik.
Description
The rockshelter is about 30 m long with an average of about 10 m from the rear wall to the dripline. The dripline is about 40 m above the ground and a series of large boulders (3-4 m high) at the dripline give excellent protection from the wind and rain as well as trapping sediment in the shelter. The surface of the rockshelter is level fine sediment with no signs of disturbance and about 10m above the surrounding ground, which is about 60 m above sea level. Similar to Lang Rongrien, Khao Toh Chong Rock Shelter has a deep multi-chambered cave system with well-preserved active speleothem formations located about 30 m to the west of the rockshelter.
