We checked out of the hotel and set off north to look at some temples and caves that Martin had GPS fixes for. Martin found the temple in the Tham Saeng Tham Phramonawat Forest Park and we headed off for 500m into the jungle to the cave – Tham Muet. This turned out to be a small rock shelter but the name translates to “Dark Cave”, so is there a bigger cave nearby?

We then headed south towards Lom Sak. On the way back we stopped at a temple to survey the cave in which this temple is situated (Tham Pha Pu). Whilst Martin and Phil surveyed, Emma and Mike followed behind to trial their new Distox and PDA for electronic surveying.

The lunch stop was at a lake where you eat on bamboo rafts that are towed out into the middle of the lake. After a couple of hours Phil raised the flag and we were towed back to shore to complete our journey back to Lom Sak.
