Lub Lae Cave, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Thailand

We had this great cave to ourselves midweek
We had the whole cave to ourselves on a May weekday morning. No need for sweaters as it is not much cooler than outside. Very humid inside but no water accumulation even though it has been raining daily. Our 3 1/2 year old did fine, The lighting and "stairs" facilitate touring. Recommend shoes with good traction. Great photos.

Great cave, though can get busy.
This is a great cave, especially if you are *not* afraid of bats and have the time to walk through to the other side (both entries are near the same Wat, so no transportation needed between them). You can borrow a flashlight, but you'll be better bringing a fancy flashlight with you. It can get busy - there was a tourbus of folks there when we arrived. The monk (or whomever was talking on the speaker system at the Wat) announced to the gathered crowd that Farang had arrived, so if anyone wanted to talk to us, they were welcome (no one took him up on that). There are bathrooms behind the worship area. Be sure to leave a nice donation in the box at the front of the worship area. The "driveway" from the road to the cave entrance/wat isn't well maintained, though it is traversable in a regular car.

Interesting Cave Structure.
The caves are located about a 45 minute drive from the city center in a remote rural area. Admission is free, although a donation is appreciated. There is a care taker, mostly Thai language, who provide flashlights to us. He also provided a free tour and explanation in Thai. There is about a 5 minute climb on uneven path to the main entrance. Once in the cave, the walkways are also uneven and can be slippery from moisture. Not advisable for people with walking difficulties. Lots to see once inside the caves. FYI - there are bats, mostly sleeping, hanging from the ceiling.
