Welcome



The aim of this site is to make available my data on caves in Thailand. It is hoped that the information on these pages is of use to those interested in caving in the region and stimulates exploration in the country. I would be very interested in receiving any information (references, grid co-ordinates, reports, surveys, etc.) on Thai caves.

Recent additions to the website are the Cave Database (in 13 volumes) and surveys of some of the longest and deepest caves in Thailand

This website is hosted by the Shepton Mallet Caving Club (www.shepton.org.uk). Many thanks to Sean Howe (www.sean-howe.co.uk) for his work in transferring the website. However, now that Sean has given me a masterclass in how to update and maintain the site any problems will have been caused by me, so please let me know if you find anything that doesn't work.

Mae Hong Son 29 October - 2 November 2008

I hadn’t been to Mae Hong Son before so the chance of a trip there, in the company of John Dunkley who explored the region in the 1980s and 1990s and authored the Caves of Thailand, was not to be missed.
