This website has information on the caves of Thailand that has been 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.

A new series of The Caves of Thailand books has been published. These describe all known caves, rock shelters, resurgences, stream sinks and other sites of speleological interest, along with surveys and references.
Volume 1 - Eastern Thailand
Volume 2 - Northern Thailand
Volume 3 - Western and Central Thailand
Volume 4 - Peninsular and Southern Thailand
Recent updates included the longest and deepest cave lists, the Google Earth KMZ file (with over 5,000 cave locations) and the bibliography (2,412 entries). Other recent additions to the website include numerous new surveys and a paper giving full taxonomic and distribution data on the fauna recorded in the limestone caves of Thailand.
