Pawee Upper Cave (Tham)
20.816166,102.674500
Location
The cave is situated south of Halkham village about 75 minutes by boat upstream on the Nam Ou River from Ngoy Nua and is located in an isolated limestone cone immediately on the southern shore of the Nam Ou River. The limestone cone is very easy to recognise due to the fact that the Nam Ou leaves its gorge north of Sop Chem village to enter an area of jungle-covered smooth hills of generally non-calcareous rocks [5158] Map sheet: F48-110 Methode: from map
