Brief description
Martin Ellis - 16/03/2020

At the lower entrance is the bell, which is an old bomb casing, which gives the cave its name. The 15 meters wide by 5 meters high passage leads to a concrete ladder to an upper entrance. There are two side passages: a lower passage that closes down and an upper passage that goes to an entrance overlooking the collapse doline with Tham Yai Pha Sawan.
