#GetDiscountNotDependingOnLuck I had the chance to visit a cave. In my opinion, a cave would be dry, dark, and stuffy, and we would have to walk in, right? But no! This is what we called Tham Nam Lod, airy and beautiful. We will go into the cave by boat. We buy a ticket at the front, and there will be an officer (a local villager) who will take us to the boat with 1 lantern, and there will be another person rowing the boat and taking us into the cave. They will explain to us about the stalactites and stalagmites in various shapes in the cave. The kids were excited. There are many zones to visit in the cave, but it depends on the amount of water. On the day we went, a flash flood had just passed through and there was a lot of water, so we couldn't go into the inner zone. #Tham Nam Lod #Tham Nam Lod Pang Mapha #VisitMaeHongSon #VisitPangMapha

Pai, Thailand is very popular right now 🇹🇭 If you're in Pai, you should definitely visit Nam Roth Cave. It's called Lod Cave locally and is located about 2 hours north of Pai 🚌 I signed up for a local tour. There was one restroom break on the way to the cave, and the scenery there was beautiful with lots of greenery! There are also many winding roads, so motion sickness medicine is a must! Now, at Nam Roth Cave, each group is made up of 3 people. I was participating alone, so I was joined by the people on the same tour 🤍 The price of the cave varies depending on how far you go. We chose the longest one at 600 THB and split it between the three of us. (💰Price per person: =200THB) One guide will be assigned to each group, and will guide you through the pitch black cave with a single lantern✨ The inside of the cave is like a limestone cave, and the naturally formed Tower of Babel was impressive (6th photo) Exploring on a raft was also an exciting experience here! The fresh mango juice after exploring the cave was also great🍹💞 📍Location: Nam Lot Cave 107 หมู่1 Tham Lot, Pang Mapha District, Mae Hong Son 58150 Thailand 🕰️Opening hours: 8:00-17:00 💰Price per person: 200THB #overseasseasonalplaces #Pai #Nam Lot Cave #Thailand #lodcave

Pai, Thailand, is a small town located north of Chiang Mai, known for its laid-back atmosphere and natural landscapes. In this area, stalactite caves are one of the popular natural attractions for tourists, among which **Tham Lod Cave** is one of the most famous stalactite caves. Introduction to Lok Cave Located in the northeast of Pai County, about 40 kilometers by car from Pai County, Lok Cave is a huge limestone cave system with spectacular stalactites and stalagmites, formed by thousands of years of water erosion and sedimentation. Cave Features 1. Spectacular stalactites and stalagmites The cave is filled with stalactites and stalagmites of various shapes, some of which form natural pillars, like an underground palace. 2. Cave Structure Lo Cave is divided into three main areas: Part I: Where light can reach, there are strange rock structures formed naturally. The second part: You must take a bamboo raft to enter, because there is a river winding through the cave, and the stalactites are reflected on the water surface, creating a dreamy scenery. Part 3: The deeper caves have more delicate stalactite structures and require a flashlight for exploration. 3. Prehistoric cultural relics Prehistoric human bones and pottery have been found in the cave, indicating that this was once a place where ancient people lived or moved around. 4. Bat Habitat The cave is also a habitat for bats and swallows. Every day at sunset, thousands of bats fly out of the cave, creating a spectacular sight. Tour Information Transportation: It takes about 1-1.5 hours to get to Lodong by chartering a car or renting a motorcycle from Pai County. Tickets and guides: You need to pay a ticket to enter the cave and hire a local guide (experienced villagers usually provide interpretation services). Best time: It is recommended to go in the morning to avoid the large number of tourists in the afternoon. Lok Cave is not only a paradise for geology enthusiasts, but also a unique experience to explore the nature and culture of Pai County.

#Rafting #100TravelWays ⛰️Today we will take you to #Rafting and see the caves at "Tham Nam Lod". This is another interesting Unseen place. Tham Nam Lod is located in the Pai River Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. It is a cave with a river flowing through it, passing through the mountain from one side to the other. ⛰️To visit this cave, you must start by walking from the park office and must have a guide, who will be a villager, to lead the way, holding a lantern to show the way and provide knowledge. This mountain is a limestone mountain. Water dripping from the ceiling of the cave along with limestone drops creates various stalactites and stalagmites. ⛰️The cave is very large. The highlights are Tham Sao Hin Luang, Tham Tukkata, and Tham Phi Man. In addition to being a place to study nature, here you can also find antiques such as broken pottery. Various tools and the river flowing through the cave is full of fish. 📍Location: Tham Nam Lod, Pang Mapha District, Mae Hong Son Province ⏰Open 08.00-17.00 🚗There is a parking lot

Tham Nam Lod is located in Tham Lod Subdistrict, 77 kilometers from Mae Hong Son city. It is an important archaeological site under the care of the Pai River Wildlife Sanctuary. The main attraction is 'Tham Nam Lod,' a cave with a stream running through it. Inside the cave, there are beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. Since it is not possible to walk inside, visitors must take a raft to see the interior beauty. The cave is approximately 1 kilometer long and consists of three large chambers: 'Tham Sao Hin Luang,' a spacious cave with prominent stalactites and stalagmites, the most notable being a large limestone pillar formed by the merging of several stalactites and stalagmites, some as high as 20 meters. 'Tham Tukata' features small, doll-like stalactites. The last chamber near the exit is 'Tham Phi Man.' The cave is open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Due to the darkness inside, visitors cannot explore on their own and must hire a guide with a lantern for a fee of 150 baht. The Tham Nam Lod Nature and Wildlife Study Center offers accommodations and facilities. There are guesthouses available, and camping is allowed in designated areas.

#100TravelTips 🏕️ After watching #WimanNam, I want to follow you to travel to #MaeHongSon with beautiful locations that I believe will definitely be fun to travel to and challenge every location. 🌳 So, I took this opportunity to find other travel locations in Mae Hong Son Province to share with all my fellow neeks. Each place is guaranteed to be a great trip with a beautiful view that will pierce your heart.

The nature trail takes a while to reach. Be cautious of slippery paths if it rains. When you arrive at the cave, it looks like a large hollow where water flows through from one side to the other. Upon reaching the main entrance of the cave, there is some water but not much. At the cave entrance, there are large fish that you can feed. ☺️

When visiting Mae Hong Son, don't forget to stop by and see the beauty of stalactites and stalagmites in Tham Nam Lod, Pang Mapha District. The inside of the cave is very dark. There will be an officer (with a fee depending on the number of people) to take us for a walk. The air inside is cool and humid. If it's the rainy season, the water will be too high. You won't be able to go in because there is water flowing through the middle of the cave. If the water is high, you won't be able to walk inside. I recommend going before the rainy season. The inside is really beautiful. #Tham Nam Lod #Pang Mapha attractions #Mae Hong Son attractions #Check in Mae Hong Son

It’s a 1 hr journey from Pai city to Tham Lod cave. Many bends and turns. Better to go there on a city tour rather than motor biking unless you are a very experienced rider. The cave is interesting with those rock formations. Recommended to take the bamboo raft for a complete set of experience. Required to have a guide to bring you in and they will show you the rock formations. #Thamlodcave #Thamlod #pai #Thailand

Tham Nam Lod is an important archaeological site and one of the Unseen Thailand. It is under the care of the Pai River Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. It is a cave with water flowing through the middle. You have to take a raft to see it. Inside Tham Nam Lod is very large. There are many interesting caves, such as Tham Lod, which has a stream called Nam Lang flowing through the mountain and out the other side, creating a cave with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites.

You must have a guide with a light to guide you. 📷 The stalactites and stalagmites are very beautiful, but it is difficult to take pictures because the inside of the cave is dark.
