We continued our drive south and made it to Trang, checking on a couple of caves on the way. The first cave was only a name on the list with no details. We knew the village it was near, so we drove there and looked for signs. All signs were in Thai, but by better luck than judgement we found Tham Phra Ya Pichai Songkram. This cave was once a tourist attraction but at this moment is run down and in need of restoration. There is a wooden boardwalk that runs to the cave entrance but this is falling apart in places. We made it to the cave entrance, got a GPS fix, but did not enter.
Nearby, at a temple, is the cave of Tham Phra Phut. The cave is run by monks and has some electric lighting in it. We surveyed the cave, dodging bats (again!) and on getting out were given a bottle of drinking water by a monk.
We drove on to Trang and found a hotel for a couple of nights.
