Chiang Dao Cave Tourism

Type of destination: Cave

Chiang Dao Cave is an extensive cave system located in the Chiang Dao district of Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. Known for its stunning stalactite and stalagmite formations, the cave is part of the Doi Chiang Dao mountain range and is considered one of the most spectacular caves in Thailand. Stretching over 12 kilometers long with several large caverns accessible to the public, visitors can explore a portion of the cave on their own or hire a guide to see deeper areas. The cave entrance is part of the Wat Tham Chiang Dao temple complex, contributing to its spiritual significance. As a place of worship, there are various Buddha statues and religious icons within the illuminated sections. Beyond the lit paths, the darkness of the cave offers an adventurous experience for those looking to explore its depths. The cave's interior is naturally adorned with impressive limestone formations, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that continues to attract tourists, pilgrims, and speleologists alike. A mixture of natural and man-made walkways guide visitors through the caverns, ensuring safety while allowing them to marvel at the underground beauty.

Easy caving.

Well organized caving in quite impressive caves with some narrow passages between. 200 + 100 for very helpful guide. It takes almost 1 hour through.
