A strange start to the morning … just as we were leaving at 8am, we heard the National Anthem being played over the town PA system. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stood still, even cars and buses stopped in the road for the duration!
A cave south of Trang was our target for today. It was a wet cave that needing surveying and has the potential of being quite a long system. We found the cave entrance without too much difficulty and kitted up. Going into the cave we followed an inlet but soon reached a pool of deep water. Neither of us fancied crossing this pool with no other cavers as support, so we surveyed out to the entrance.
The map showed another cave a few miles south of us, so we headed off to find it. There is an impressive sign on the roadside and driving down a track, we were soon at the cave. As with many caves in Thailand, it is also a temple. It turned out to be a small cave that did not go very far. A quick survey was undertaken of the cave before we headed back to Trang.
