Tham Lam Chi - CH0033
16.377105,101.495572
Location
From the Lam Chi camp used by the 1989 British expediton follow the river downstream. In the dry season the river sinks at the base of a 30m high cliff in several impassably low entrances (Lam Chi Yai Sink). From the sink continue along the river bed for several hundred metres, climbing over large bamboo log jams or taking detours on the banks, until the river bed disappears at the bottom of a high cliff.
Description
The river bed ends in three entrances behind a pile of house-sized boulders and tree trunk blockages. These three entrances lead into passages that quickly join up. Climbing down through the boulders leads into a canyon, with unusual black limestone walls speckled with white calcite. The canyon breaks down into a network of low crawls, apparently in a massive boulder choke. No major way on was found by the British in 1989 although many low crawls were followed for some distance.
