The other review for Christmas Day 2019 wasn’t quite correct – we were there too! Lol. Fun and unusual experience and there’s apparently 0.7km of cave to look at if you go all the way to the end; we didn’t … Well worth putting 200 Baht each in the box for the free torch and bottles of water we were offered. Last thing – don’t go unless you know how you’re getting back. There’s no way to pick up return transport once you’re there
We were the only visitors for this christmas day.It was a very nice cave with a friendly free guiding.Wonderfull
Nice experience, goes well with the PalaU Waterfall. Be aware to bring light ? and do not be scared of bats ?. The experience will be woth your while!
The cave is located outside of Hua Hin and Cha-am and you will need to drive to the location. We went mid afternoon and had the caves to ourselves. It is an interesting sight to see and experience. The bats were up on the ceiling with an occasional one flitting about so don’t go if you’re not a fan. Be sure to leave a donation to the monks after you have visited.
travelled by boat from beach at National park entrance round to bay where we found path to cave. Not really a path so much as roughly hacked out steps in the rock. very steep climb for about 1/2 K, definitely not for the faint hearted or unfit. Well rewarded on arrival by fantastic scenery & great photo opportunities. Dont leave anything lying around or the monkeys will have it.
The caves are located about a 45 minute drive from the city center in a remote rural area. Admission is free, although a donation is appreciated. There is a care taker, mostly Thai language, who provide flashlights to us. He also provided a free tour and explanation in Thai. There is about a 5 minute climb on uneven path to the main entrance. Once in the cave, the walkways are also uneven and can be slippery from moisture. Not advisable for people with walking difficulties. Lots to see once inside the caves. FYI – there are bats, mostly sleeping, hanging from the ceiling.
We had the whole cave to ourselves on a May weekday morning. No need for sweaters as it is not much cooler than outside. Very humid inside but no water accumulation even though it has been raining daily. Our 3 1/2 year old did fine, The lighting and “stairs” facilitate touring. Recommend shoes with good traction. Great photos.
This cave was a very nice addition to our list of underground adventures in Thailand. The cave is situated about 45 minutes from Hua Hin, a short distance up a rough, but manageable, drive leading off the main rural road. Upon reaching the small parking area, a local person will provide a light for each person entering the cave and point the way up a short set of stairs leading to the cave. There is also a rudimentary electric lighting system in the cave so it is quite easy to get around. The main passageways are clear and the steeper sections are aided with a handrail and steps. There are still a few slippery spots, however, so visitors should proceed with caution.The cave has some very nice formations and quite a sizeable bat colony (plenty of guano to stick to your shoes!). The big attraction for me, however, was the presence of a very large number of cave crickets with incredibly long antennae (approx 20 centimetres in length). This was the biggest population of cave crickets I’ve seen in Thailand. Visitors must respect the fragility of the cave ecosystem and avoid disturbance of the crickets and bats.There is no charge for visiting the cave, but a donation box at the small temple sala where visitors get and return the lights. Please be generous with your contributions so the temple can continue to maintain and protect the cave.
This is a great cave, especially if you are *not* afraid of bats and have the time to walk through to the other side (both entries are near the same Wat, so no transportation needed between them). You can borrow a flashlight, but you’ll be better bringing a fancy flashlight with you. It can get busy – there was a tourbus of folks there when we arrived. The monk (or whomever was talking on the speaker system at the Wat) announced to the gathered crowd that Farang had arrived, so if anyone wanted to talk to us, they were welcome (no one took him up on that). There are bathrooms behind the worship area. Be sure to leave a nice donation in the box at the front of the worship area. The “driveway” from the road to the cave entrance/wat isn’t well maintained, though it is traversable in a regular car.
Beautiful cave! It was my first time seeing bats this up close! We received a light before entering and could take all our time. There weren’t many people. Inside was a bit slippery though, so be careful.
