Tham Nok Nang Aen, located around the middle section of Lam Khlong Ngu at Mu 5 Ban Khao Phra In, Tambon Chalae. It is a spacious cave approximately 3 km. long, with the Lam Khlong Ngu flowing through it. It features the so-called Karst windows formed by the subsidence of the cave’s ceiling, which divided the cave into 3 roomy chambers that look like 3 connected train carriages. The cave is home to a large flock of swallows – Nok Nang Aen in Thai – and houses spectacular stalagmites and stalactites. We take the same route as Tham Sao Hin and continue for another 6 km. from Ban Phu Toei to Ban Khao Phra In, turn right into a dirt road for another 3 km. and walk further for some 30 minutes to the cave. A four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended, or rent an ‘I Taek’ – adapted from a local ploughing vehicle – from Ban Khao Phra In.
After we passed 2 caves, we can go to another ;
Tham Namtok, similar to Tham Sao Hin and Tham Nok Nang Aen in that it is a cave with a creek flowing through it. Tham Namtok has an underground limestone waterfall, dropping down 17 levels, with the tallest tier being some 20 metres high. There are also spectacular stalagmites and stalactites in various forms throughout the 2,710 metres long cave. There are about 30 prehistoric paintings of humans and animals on the cave walls.
Visiting the cave is not recommended in the rainy season as the water level inside will be very high. We can’t in this trip because the national park official don’t servey before, It’s very dangerous.
Tham Yai, a large spacious cave with a mouth of approximately 50 metres wide. Tham Yai water bubbles up from underground and seeps through the walls to create a stream which winds around the sandy floor of this cave for about 200m.
The chamber inside can accommodate thousands of people. It is the province’s largest cave located about 1 km. from Tham Namtok.
