Had a blast at this cave, group of five in one boat (2 kids 7, 10). Really fun! Trip is broken up... read more
Exciting trip for a tourist before he joins the first time. 5 adults for 1 boat to load the boat for safe trip. The boat controller bring tourists to enjoy the bride room, the stalagmites and stalactites. The highlight is the 350 meters long way. The tourist *must* lie flat on the boat at the dragon belly. Warning!! Join to find the reasons and experience.
This attraction is not for people with claustrofobia or very big ones. But for adventurous people it "must do" when you're in Trang area.
The cave is located in Huai Yot District, close to road 403. There are signs to "Le Khao Kop Cave" on main roads around Trang, so the place is relatively easy to find.
Boat costed us (2 adults & 1 child) 300 THB. There are 2 guides on the boat.
First part is relaxing paddling, but next to cave entrance you need to lay down. During the journey you can admire rock fomation inside the cave. After a few minutes you get to a big chamber where you can stand up and walk on prepared paths.
Journey back is much more exciting. Almost the whole time you need to lay down really flat. For most of the way guides are not able to paddle: they also lay down and steer the boat by using their hands. The cave ceiling was just a few centimeters from our faces and for a moment we stuck. But guides were really experienced and moved us safely to the exit.
A must for the adventurous!
First part is easy, you're guided through the cave and there's a lot of beautiful rock formations to see..
Last part is more extreme, as you go deeper into the cave the roof gets lower and lower.
My wife really feard for her life, and panicked a little, as we got stuck for a minute.
We have been this place with all family gang last year, firstly when we enter into little dark small canal so excited but inside so beautiful and stunning scenery rock in each cave. unbelievable we were under this mountain and crawling with small paddle boat with 8 people. I would highly recommend if you have a chance visit Trang province!!
you will never missed to keen its.
everyone should try this one in their life, this is not absurd statement a sincere statement based on my own experience ! how the stalactite and stalagmite passing through your head and body. it is like you are going to die but all the driver are very responsive and proffesional. :)
First Leg - rowing at the river and I thought its so hot and boring. I really have huge interest with nature but I think that time we should be doing something more.
Second Leg - we have to lay down our body in the boat for us to get inside the cave proper, it’s the beginning of my excitement. I saw variety of stalactites with different forms in which boat guides made names already like elephant, umbrella etc. When we reached the deepest part of the cave, we took off the boat of walk for couple minutes to see the whole stunning beauty of the cave.
Final Leg - This is the most thrilling part. once we ride again to the boat, guides started to row and that time they told us to lie on our back and whatever happens do not raise hands or knees or feet keep lying on the boat. Going further and further, cave space became narrower and narrower. I know that I am not claustrophobic so I can open my eyes and literally facing the ceiling of the cave, it was like a few away from my face. Seeing the rock pass inches from your face is quite exhilarating and at times it feels like the overhanging rock will smash into your face. I heard many people screaming like they was thrown in the highest area they could imagine. It takes 15-20 minutes on that part of the cave.
Entrance fee is 300Baht each and boat capacity is up to 5-6 persons.
