Welcome

This website has information on the caves of Thailand that I have compiled over several years. It is hoped that this 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.

Recent additions to the website include a Google Earth .zml file with over 2,500 cave locations, the report of the SMCC 2009 expedition to Nan and a guide to Thailand's longest and deepest caves. A series of guide books are being published through Lulu.com. A Bookshop has been added to the website linking directly to the Lulu Storefront and displaying the volumes which are currently available.

This website is hosted by the Shepton Mallet Caving Club (www.shepton.org.uk). Many thanks to Sean Howe (www.sean-howe.co.uk) for his ongoing work in maintaining the website.

An Antidote to Beer Chang?

Those who have caved in Thailand may have come across sticks that have been rested on end by Thai visitors under overhangs and boulders.

A Threat to the Krabi Karst

In the past couple of months a new quarry has started operating in the karst to the north of Krabi town.  Although no large caves are known in the area it is near the internationally important archaeological sites of Tham Lang Rongrian and Tham Moh Khiew.
