Chiang Dao Cave, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand

Beautiful landscape and interesting cave in Chiang Dao
Great to see and experience this place in both geographical and religious perspective; we love seeing the different formations, interpreted in numerous novel meanings from the locals - as well as letting our imagination do its thing at times. The cave consisted of numerous shrines and praying areas to pray, make merit and reflect. Some ways throughout the cave require some squeeze, and I found that a little fun exercise. The loop isn't long so the entire journey was not exhausting. Also, it requires a qualified guide to bring you in to explore the caves; you cannot enter on your own. Beyond this was the absolutely beautiful scenery outside the cave; the mountains and the clear stream of water at the entrance of the cave.

Worth the visit
We were happy to support the local tourist attraction & also the lady selling the flower offerings. We chose the 40baht entry fee & later heard that the guided cave option was well worth it. So if we had our time again we would choose the guided unlit cave with kerosene lantern option. In Australia we have some stunning limestone caves so difficult to compare). Recommend.

Nice cave
Interesting cave complex. Bring a flashlight or you will have to hire a local guide to take you through with a kerosene lantern. Supporting the local guides may be a good thing to do regardless. Some very large caverns and a few tight passageways. I am not particularly large, but I still had a bit of trouble navigating a few points. Worthwhile excursion if you are in the area as Doi Chiang Dao is awesome.
