Welcome

The aim of this site is to make available my data on caves in Thailand. It is hoped that the information on these pages is of use to those interested in caving in the region and stimulates exploration in the country. I would be very interested in receiving any information (references, grid co-ordinates, reports, surveys, etc.) on Thai caves.

This website is now hosted by the Shepton Mallet Caving Club (www.shepton.org.uk). It can be accessed via www.thailandcaves.shepton.org.uk as well as www.takobi.co.uk.

Many thanks to Sean Howe for his work in transferring the website. However, now that Sean has given me a masterclass in how to update and maintain the site any problems will have been caused by me, so please let me know if you find anything that doesn't work.
