Wat Tham Tub Tao Cave.

[thaibeachlovers]

Ideal for a short stop off on the way north to Fang on 107.

 

Only a couple of km up a side road 120 km north of Chiang Mai.

Can't miss it, as the turn off is right beside the checkpoint bottom of the hill and it is sign posted before getting there. The sign at the turn off is confusing though.

 

Just follow the side road till you get to the Wat. Parking is inside.

 

It cost 100 baht for two of us to go in.

 

There are two caves. The right hand one has bats and is long and difficult in places with ladders. There are lights, but as some are not working best to take a torch.

There are statues inside.

 

The left hand one is just a big cavern by the entrance with a huge Buddha inside. Worth a look though.

 

I liked it more than the one at Chang Dow.

 

Very peaceful and quiet.

 

There is no accomodation available nearby that I saw.
