About Erawan Caveb
To get to the entrance of the cave, there is a steep climb up around 600 steps. There is a large Buddha image in the mouth of the cave, from which there are great views of the surrounding countryside. The opening of the cave is large - probably 20 meters high at least. From there, the entranceway extends downwards for around 100 meters, past a Buddhist shrine, before opening into a very large cavern. There are a couple of openings in the roof of the cavern, which I estimate to be 100 meters long and 40 meters wide. The air inside is cool and fresh, and the pathway is adequately lit. Taking a good flashlight along would be good - the stalactites and stalagmites and other structures in the cave are beautiful. Walk to the end of the cavern and there is a small opening which leads to a connected cave in which there is a very steep set of steps up to another large opening high up in the side of the mountain from which one has views to the north.
