Tham Pak Sung [Tham Pok Soong] [Tham Pbak Sung] [CM0021]

Martin Ellis - 26/06/2019

An exceptionally well-decorated chamber in a temple complex. Originally established as a meditation cave by a yogi over 30 years ago, but only recently refurbished to its current level of comfort. A magnificent teak floor completely disguises the chasm underneath, so the unexplored pit report by the APS is no longer accessible. Electric lighting, a library and several shrines including one to the Chinese goddess Guan Yin complete the atmosphere. An eleaborate system of corrugated iron sheeting has been erected to capture water dripping from stalactites which is believed to have miraculous properties. Tham Pak Sung is said to connect with Tham Pak Piang which is on the other same rock outcrop.
