Caving
Although there are caving opportunities all
over Thailand, the following are some of the most commonly explored:
Pai
The Tham Lod caves have a unique cave system which is believed to be one
of south-east Asia뭩 largest.
Sam Roi Yod National Park
With its many carbonic
limestone rock formations, this park between Kuiburi and Pranburi, is a wide prairie near
the seashore. As well as boasting a wide variety of plant species and
wild animals, there are three caves worth visiting within the park.
Sai Kaeo Cave
The cave near Pranburi is fairly deep and one
needs a flashlight or lantern to go far inside.
Sai Cave
This cave is situated on the same route as Tham
Sai Kaeo. To get there you have to pass through the villages of Phu Noi,
Phu Yai, Khao Daeng, and Khung Tanoad. There is then a 20 to 30 minute
climb up the hill.
Phaya Nakhon Cave
This fairly large cave is located near
Pranburi. You can either take a boat from the mouth of the Pranburi
River which takes about 2 hours or a boat from Khung Tanoad Village which
takes only about 30 minutes. There are a couple of natural ventilation
holes in the roof of the cave which also allow the sun light to enter. At
the cave is Phra Thinang Khuha Kharuhat, a pavilion constructed in 1890
during the reign of King Chulachomklao (King Chulalongkorn, Rama V). The
pavilion is now used as the official symbol of Prachuap Khiri Khan
Province.
Kanchanaburi
Kang Lava Cave has fantastic stone formations making it one of the most
interesting and beautiful caves in Thailand to visit.
