| The north part of Krabi province boasts dramatic karst topography and abundance of cave.There may not be another area of the kingdom with so many intriguing caves in such.Close proximity to one another.The first cave you visit.Tham lod.Has a spectacular tunnel through a karst richly adorned with stalactites and stalagmites.The entranceto the passage is overhung by a curtain of jungle vines. The limestone cliffs surrounding the cave are richly adorned with endemic palms and cycads.Continuing from Thom Lod.It is just a few minutes paddle to "Pee Hua Tor" the big headed ghost cave.A human skull was found here.That was much larger that normal size-hence the name. More extensive evidence of ancient occupation can be found in the nearly 100 pictographs adoming the cave's walls and ceiling.Both real and mythological people and animals are depicted in richochre.Yellow and black picments.There are also vast numbers of shells in the sedimentary rock and littering the cave floor some of which may be part of middles-the garbage refuse of prehistoric cave dwellers. Some of the stalactite formations are also of special interested here as trey bend radically towards the light of the main cave entrance.There are actually three openings to this great chamber the highest of which offers an unspoiled view of the mangroves limestone crags and sea that has changed little since the time this was home or a ceremonial site for ancient seafaring people. |
