Tham Din Neao [NA0083]

Location

From the Security Development Project headquarters take the sealed road south (not the road that goes back down to Chiang Klang). As this road turns north take a dirt road south. Drive past the National Park ranger station to a Y junction. Take the right hand fork (left leads to Tham Huai Poen, Tham Pon, etc.) and follow the track south along the top of the ridge. The track goes through two farms at 47Q 717428 2142542 and 47Q 717288 2140712 and eventually ends in a field at 47Q 716953 2140202. 350 m before reaching the end of the track there is a small parking space at 47Q 717108 2140337. This is also the start of the path to the cave which is 250 m to the north-east. The path descends through the bamboo to reach a dry stream bed. Follow the stream course uphill (NB: this stream has leeches) to where there is a boulder pile. Climb out on to the right hand side of the stream and head up the cliff in front, about 50 m from the stream. The entrance is at the foot of the cliff, about a 10 minute walk from the car.
