Location

This very well known tourist destination is only accessible by boat or canoe from Ban Tha Bo Tho. It is well signposted and can be reached by going 4.3 km south-west of Ao Luek on the H4039 then turning north for 2 km before another turning to the west which brings you to the car parking area, restaurants and boat rental firms at the end of the road. from the jetty paddle downstream past the creek with Tham Lot to the second creek on the left (south). Go up this, past Tham Phi Hua To, for a few hundred metres. The use of a guide is probably required to find the turning and narrow route from the mangroves to the cave, Martin Ellis - 05/11/2019
