Phraya Nakhon Cave, Thailand
From series “Fantastic and Colorful Caves Inside the Earth”
In Thailand, fans of walks in unusual places will be able to visit Phraya Nachon Cave. Not without reason it is considered one of the most beautiful and spectacular caves in the country. This natural attraction is located in the southern part of Thailand, in the territory of Khao Sam Roy Yot National Park. Right in the cave is a religious landmark, which makes it special among others. It is the Kukha Karuhas pavilion. It was built here in 1890 by the order of King Chulalongkorn, and the cave itself received its name in honour of one of the rulers who first opened it during a storm.
The cave is located in the depths of the national park, so tourists who decide to visit it need to go a long way. A pleasant addition to the route will be tracks and stairs, as well as viewing platforms, from which it is convenient to admire the surrounding landscapes. In the walls of the cave a lot of interesting things await curious tourists. The upper part of the cave was partially destroyed during earthquakes, so it receives daylight through the holes formed inside.
