Kao Wang Thong Cave

The cave is about 9 miles away from the city and is one of the most awesome caves of the province. The cave has many large and small chambers, each with stalagmites and stalactites of odd sizes and shapes, like pagodas, dinosaurs, custard apples, and fried eggs. Some chambers can only be accessed by crawling or climbing, making it fun for visitors. To get there, start from Khanom district office, turn right at the intersection to Don Sak and take a left turn. The entrance has a bus stop called Sala Tansakun which is easily noticeable. Drive for 6 kilometres until you reach the cave. Visitors must first obtain the cave key from the keeper at the cave entrance.
Go into the caves of Khao Wang Tong alone, without other tourist groups.
The most impressive thing is the beautiful landscape that captivates you with its pleasant tropical charm.
