Explore the Massive Tham Lot Cave

When archeologists first explored this cave in the 1960s, they discovered not only pottery but also teak coffins–left behind by the ancient Lawa tribe that once inhabited the cave.

You can explore the cave on foot if you hire a local guide, or you can get on a bamboo raft that will follow the Nam Lang River, which flows through the cave.

The cave is inhabited by bats and swifts, a perfect combination for an impressive sunset show– as the sun starts to set, the swifts return to the cave for the night, followed by the colony of bats exiting on their own dance across the sky.
