Amphoe Kang Hang Maeo
Tham Khao Wong
Tham Khao Wong at Ban Khao Wongkot, Kaeng Hang Maeo district,
is part of the Khao Chamao-Khao Wong National Park. About 40 kilometres
before reaching Chanthaburi town on Highway No.3 at Km. 286 (Ban
Kong Din) is a left turn to the park, 11 kilometres further on.
Or take a turn at Km. 288 (Talat Na Yai Arm) instead. From the cave
proceed on foot to see the caves themselves. Advice could be obtained
from park officials.
Khao Wong is a group of limestone hills standing in circular cluster
with cliffs and caves containing stalagmites and stalactites. There
are passages connecting some of the chambers. The walking trails
outside offer views of varied plantlife. For those intending to
explore the caves, torches are advisable as there are no natural
lights inside. The best time to go cave-exploring is between February
and April, after which they tend to be flooded.
