Location
Follow the path to Tham Kham, but at the bamboo hut at the top of the steps take the left fork. The path contours around the hill with views out over the Ban Tham Ngoen valley and goes over a fence. The path then heads back into the massif towards the same doline that contains Tham Kham. A high point is reached where the path starts the descent into this doline, the path heads left towards the doline containing Tham Nam whilst the entrance to Tham Nimit is located 5m to the right amongst some rocks.
Description
A short bamboo ladder in a 0.5m by 0.5m entrance drops into a large chamber with a stal boss. The main part of the cave has a smooth, flat floor and there are a couple of short side passages. The main way on is to climb down beside large boulders on the right to enter a short crawl which leads to a couple of small chambers. At the bottom of the climb down many snail shells have been deposited.
