Interesting Sites and Natural Wonders

Tham Lot Cave

Tham Lot is the biggest cave in Thailand with a cave system of 1,666 meters. It’s located near Sop Pong in the northwest part of the country, and it’s a curious place as the Nam Lang River flows through the caves.

It’s also the home of hundreds of bats and swifts, which fly in and out of the cave and then hang off the massive stalactites. Visitors can also see the Coffin Caves, which were burial chambers for the ancient Lawa tribe.
