Location

Park in the centre of the village of Ban Nam Pua Phatthana, where the road crosses a bridge. Take the track that follows this stream for 30m to the Nam Pua river and the entrances are just on the right. Martin Ellis - 12/09/2020

Description

Martin Ellis - 12/09/2020

There are two entrances. The first entrance is a rift 4m high and 3m wide while the second entrance is about 10m further on at the level of the Nam Pua river and is 1m high and 2m wide with a medium sized stream resurging. Both entrances unite after about 30m of walking passage from the upper entrance. From here easy walking in a phreatic type passage 5m high and 6m wide leads to a lowering of the roof after about 40m to hands and knees crawling to what was, in January 2015, a flat out grovel in water, but was sumped in February 2016. The cave is probably the resurgence for the water seen in Tham Yok Wiman.
