Location

Near the entrance to Tham Yai Pha Sawan some steps lead up to the top of the hill and the entrance to this cave. Martin Ellis - 21/03/2020

Description

Martin Ellis - 21/03/2020

The small entrance is about 10m from the top of the steps. A root growing down in the middle of the entrance makes it even more restricted and the karren engraved limestone makes it a painful squeeze. The 50m of passage to the pitch is about 1m wide by 1.3m high and is a phreatic tube. Exploration has stopped at the top of a 5m pitch down into a chamber of about 5m diameter. From the chamber the way on is a very narrow shaft 3m deep that leads to a small chamber with no way on.The cave is located directly above Tham Yai.
