16.742639,101.920126
Location
Tham Nam Thip is in the grounds of Wat Khao Tham Nam at the foot of Pha Tham Yai. The two entrances are at the base of the cliff and lead down below ground level at the base of the hill.
Description
The two entrances are linked by a narrow inclined rift. The left hand entrance is dry and has about 20m of large passage. The right hand entrance, at the end of the access track, leads down a ladder to a murky pool of static water. This chamber has not been explored, but there appears to be a small inlet passage opposite the entrance.
