Location

From Wang Nuea take the H1035 south for 3.5 km to Ban Huai Khoi. Tham Phra Ngam is inconspicuously signed in Thai to the west. The side road leads to Ban Mae Phrik with occasional signs to Tham Phra Ngam. From Ban Mae Phrik head westwards and continue where the sealed road becomes a dirt track and reach Wat Tham Phra Ngam. Turn left at the gate to the wat, back onto a dirt track and follow this up the valley to the national park ranger station. Tham Mor is signposted as being 1.5 km to the north of the ranger station. From the ranger station head out the back across a flat area to a brdige over a storm gully. From here the footpath ascends, a one point following what appears to be an old cart track, up to the cave entrance which is about 500 m from the ranger station. Martin Ellis - 06/12/2019

Description

Martin Ellis - 06/12/2019

The cave is 100 m of subhorizontal relict cave that ends at a complete mud blockage. This may be close to the hillside as the cave loops round. It appears to that one time a lot of the cave was filled with red earth and that his has been washed or mined away.
