Soppong, a short stop on our way to Mae Hong Song with caverns to explore and the prettiest guesthouse we've stayed at.
Little Eden, this guesthouse even had it's own hiking trail complete with a bamboo bridge!
First "cave" of the day, Coffin Cave. Mostly just short walk throughs, this cave has 4 different teak coffins that were dated to be over 2000 years old. This was about the best view we got of one of the coffins.
Perilous bamboo bridge crossing.
Transit for the day, Nick continues to improve his motorbike skills on some crazy roads.
Our drive to the town of Mae Lana, home to many caves including the cave we toured, Coral Cave.
After searching the town for cave guides we finally were able to get a good look inside a notable cave. Here is one of the many Coral Cave spiders.
Nick stopping for a pose while our guide continues on.
Nice stalagmite.
Entrance to Tham Lod cave, our first experience on a bamboo raft.
Light filtering through the entrance gives way to the dark chasm of Tham Lod
The cave fish flock in the river here, where tourists are encouraged to feed them with handfuls of dog food
The far side of the cave has a much larger mouth, where unseen bats screech overhead.
