After a 30-minute drive, you’ll arrive at Tham Phay Cave. The hike begins with a steep uphill climb through the forest, leading to a rocky section at the top. Another steep slope follows before the trail gradually fades into a valley. Turning westward, you’ll navigate a large patch of rocks with guidance from your guide and safety team. At the edge of the forest lies the cave’s challenging entrance. Before venturing inside, take a break to enjoy some snacks.

Tham Phay Cave is a stunning stream cave featuring two underground river tributaries. Inside, you’ll encounter narrow passages, rugged rock formations, and deep pools—perfect for capturing unique photos. The cave is adorned with algae and plants growing over calcite formations. As you venture deeper, you’ll discover remarkable features, including a ceiling dome and intricately layered rock walls. Over approximately five hours, you’ll explore this 5-kilometer river cave, yet to be fully documented by geologists. We’ll provide all the necessary equipment, including helmets and high-powered headlights, ensuring your journey is safe and enjoyable.

The cave widens significantly beyond the entrance, offering extraordinary photo opportunities. After a brief snack break, you’ll continue to the second part of the cave system.
