macnmotion Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Found a guide at her home on a dirt soi off of Thanarat Rd. near kilo marker 22. She took me on a hike and climb (about 1 hour) that ended up right outside the cave. Hint: Click on the video to open at large size in a new window.

Goshawk Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Good stuff..! i always like to keep an eye out for the raptors (birds of prey) that strategically position themselves on the nearby ledges & trees, ready to 'pick off' in mid air their nightly supper.. or at least, attempt to do so.

macnmotion Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Good stuff..! i always like to keep an eye out for the raptors (birds of prey) that strategically position themselves on the nearby ledges & trees, ready to 'pick off' in mid air their nightly supper.. or at least, attempt to do so. I wanted to film that. But as you can see in the video, from my vantage point the bats exited the cave then took an immediate left and disappeared around the mountainside so there was no chance for me to see. My guide says that depending on which fruit trees are in fruit at the time, the bats exit in different directions, and you can't always know in advance where they will go. She has taken people to "open areas" down below only to see nothing because the bats went the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timthai Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Amazing. (I guess you'd have wrinkled lips too if you were flying that close to the bat in front of you!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawng Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 That's great! I love those bat caves and all the raptors, snakes and other stuff that go with them. Just spare a thought for the villagers who go inside to collect the guano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
