Description
Fauna
Leopaldamys neilli (Marshall, 1976) (Chordata, Mammalia, Rodentia, Muridae) (Latinne et al. 2013)
Tham Ang Hin cave is a little run down and the shrine is yet to be finished but if you take the right hand path halfway up the access stairs you can enter a large multi-chamber cave with 2 sky lights.
Comment
Apparently not the same as any of the caves listed as KA0013-0036, though this could be due to a map error.
