Fish Cave (Tham Pla), Mae Hong Son, Thailand
Feeding the fish!
???????? Route 4001: Ban Rak Thai, Mae Hong Son
Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand. 35 kilometers of steep ride along winding roads towards ethnic Yunnanese village of Rak Thai or Mae Aw. The road is a beautiful route that passes through tidy riverside Shan communities such as Mok Champae before suddenly climbing through impressive mountain scenery. Stops can be made at Pha Sua Waterfall, about 5km up the mountain, and Pang Tong Summer Palace, a rarely used royal compound a few kilometers past the waterfall.

Fish cave in Mae Hong Son (Tham Pla)
This is a small video of the fish from the fish cave in Mae Hong Son. There isn't much to see, really. A park around that cave and what you see on the video is what you get !!! You feed them with fruits. There are some huge fish...but do not make a trip especially for that, unless you are a real fan of fish!

Tham Lot, Pang Mapha, Northern Thailand
Tham Lot (Lod) is a large, impressive and very beautiful cave in the Pang Mapha district of northern Thailand. It contains coffin caves which are several hundred years old and every day 10000's of swifts gather at one of the entrances in a hypnotic spiraling display. Tourism is run at a grass roots level and directly supports the local community. Small groups are guided along the cave river, where large habituated carp will follow your bamboo raft waiting for food. You will be guided through the side caves by lantern to see the caves. It is a majestic site in a wild and beautiful part of Thailand.

Stunning Bat Cave (Thum Lod) in Pai, Thailand.
Thum Nam Lod (Lod Cave) is located just a few KM north of the Pang Mapha district in Mae Hong Sorn (North West Thailand). It consists of a 1.6 KM series of breathtaking limestone caves split into 3 chambers, all interconnected by a central flowing river. The caves are home to fish, swifts and thousands of Asian Wrinkle-Lipped bats. There are upwards of 2,000 steps winding their way through the mysterious caves, making for a memorable adventure. Entry to the cave site only costs 100THB and you pay a further 450THB for a group tour which lasts anything between 1 – 2 hours depending on how far you want to explore and how quickly you climb.
Walking through the natural limestone hollows reveals hundreds of beautifully formed stalactites and stalagmites. To remember which is which, just look at the spelling. Stalactites have a C for ceiling, stalagmites have a G for ground. Ascending and descending through the dark, our vision aided only by oil lanterns provided an eerie and magical atmosphere. As we moved forward the knowledgeable tour guides took great pleasure comparing the rock formations to different things. They would say “this rock looks like a crocodile, here is an anaconda shaped stalactite, and this is the popcorn wall.”
On our journey we learned of a few secrets hidden in the history of Thum Lod, including a 1,400-year-old teakwood coffin cave belonging to the Lawa tribe who used to live nearby. Even more impressive is the story behind the pre-historic inhabitants of this cave, the Hoabinhian hunting tribe. They are told to have been Stone age hunter-gatherers and many of their short axes, hammerstones, and bone made tools have been found during the caves excavation in the 1960’s.
Bamboo rafts channel you through to other chambers. The bats’ screeches as they echolocate and communicate are unsettling yet stunning, making the adventure even more rich. There are large freshwater fish in the river, made fat from the constant feeding frenzy as tourists buy 50-baht bags of fish food to feed them as they traverse the river. Swifts flutter about throughout the caves and in greater numbers near the cave entrances. If you plan your tour for just before dusk, the nocturnal Asian Wrinkle-Lipped bats awaken and spill out in their thousands in a beautiful crooked curving cloud in search of insects to feast on, such as beetles and caterpillars.
The Asian Wrinkle-Lipped Bats are small and average around 20g in weight. They have long narrow wings which allows them to fly at high speeds in sacrifice of good agility. However, they have a keen sense of direction based on their eco locative abilities. They let out a very high frequency screech which bounces off nearby walls and objects allowing them to ‘see’ around them.
They are usually found widely distributed throughout Southern Asia and are well known for residing in large caves in numbers exceeding 100 thousand. There are so many that when they emerge from the caves, it can take up to 2 hours for them all to evacuate, that’s some traffic jam!
The bat droppings, otherwise known as guano, are plastered all over the caves. It can be harvested and used as fertilizer due to its high content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It is also utilised in some Chinese based medicines for alleviating stomach pains and to work against certain insect and snake bites.
Thum Lod cave was an incredible day trip and I highly recommend you go there if you are travelling close to Pai or Mae Hong Sorn in the North West of Thailand.

This is the second of four videos that I made in Thum Luang Non-Forest Park near Mae Sai, Thailand near the Burmese border in Northern Thailand. All four of the videos relate to the caves that the park revolves around.
Monkey Cave, Thailand
Wat Tham Pla means fish tail and this temple is found about 13km (8 miles) south of Mae Sai. The temple is also known as the Monkey Cave Temple after the macaques that live here. They are not usually aggressive though and only stay in one area near the fish pond and shrine to Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy who is very popular with the Chinese.

THAM LOD CAVES | Mae Hong Soon, Thailand
Before we reached the town proper of Pai, we went to one of the amazing caves in the whole of Thailand called THAM LOD CAVE. Since it was very accessible for a cave, a lot of of tourists have been drawn into it, except when the waters are high during heavy rain. Exploring inside it was easy as the bamboo raft takes us to one cave after another and there were steps installed. But we encountered a snake along the way, and I was really shaken because it was my first encounter of a snake in real life! Watch this informative video.
