This is a hidden gem in Trang province and all of Thailand; both times I have visited have been pretty empty and we were there only n people there. The entry fee is 400 baht per boat. This is a great way to support the local economy.
Please note that there is a part that up have to fully lie down to avoid the cave ceiling, so if you have claustrophobia, it will not be the best place to visit. Additionally, after periods of heavy rain or hide tide, this part of the cave is not accessible, so plan well.
Had a blast at this cave, group of five in one boat (2 kids 7, 10). Really fun! Trip is broken up with a bit of walking and lots of lying down with your nose literally touching the top. We had no idea what to expect and all left with beaming smiles :)
We enjoy the great experience in the dark cave. Boat services is provided to explore the cave. It takes above an hour to complete the tour
This place seem like same cave at Vietnam but it has their own unique. We did not know about this cave but our tourist guide suggest this place. This place really adventures because we need to go inside there by a boat with a narrow stream. Even it seem like scary when we need to enter to "dragon's stomach" but it a best experience ever that i had. The boatmen also professional and make us feel calm when enter there. For those who like adventures activities should try this but not recommend it to younger children.
I had read a bit about this cave and as we were in Trang we decided to do it. I booked transport at a local travel agent. The lady there said she had done the cave once but wouldn't do it again and just smiled. I knew we had to lie down in the boat. We entered the cave with 2 of us in the boat plus the 2 boatmen. On entering we had to lie down as the ceiling of the cave was about a foot to 18 inches above our heads. This was only for a very brief time. We then entered a larger chamber and eventually docked the boat and got out and walked through some of the cave. Very nice I thought. Then we got back into the boat and instead of exiting the way we had come in we went out a different way. This is when it got really interesting. We had to lie down in the boat and the space between my nose and the ceiling kept shrinking until it was only an inch or less. A couple of times the boat scraped the sides of the cave and seemed to become stuck. There was much chattering in Thai between the boatmen and then they gave a mighty push on the ceiling and the boat went down in the water, shot forward and popped up all the time with my nose almost scraping the top of the cave. It was somewhat terrifying as you really were unable to move at all or do anything. I kept telling myself that the guys in the boat do this every day and I am sure we will eventually get out. I am unsure as to exactly how long it took to eventually get to a place where the ceiling was higher and we were able to sit up and eventually exit the cave but it probably was about 20 minutes although it seemed to take forever. It was truly an adrenaline rush. DON'T do it if you are at all claustraphobic. I am with the lady at the travel agency - glad I did it and it makes a great story but I wouldn't do it again!
Visited whilst on a week long tour around the region, very tranquil place, and quiet when we visited as a family with teens. Short boat ride up the local waters and into the cave, not for those that don't like confined spaces as you are so close to the cave roof in the boat and have to lie flat! overall a must expericence!
