On our way back home from Uthai Thani we made a diversion to see the cavern at Hup Pa Tat. It is about 50 kms from the city.
It was discovered in 1979 by the abbot of a local temple and is promoted these days as “Unseen Thailand”. Back then, you had to climb down the limestone cliff face. But now they have drilled 60 meters through the rock. However, the gong is still tough as you have to pass through this tunnel in the pitch darkness.
When you emerge the other side it is like coming out into a secret garden that has remained hidden for hundreds of years. Indeed, many of the species of plants here are ancient and some are rarely seen elsewhere. Entrance is 20 baht for Thais and an expensive 200 baht for foreigners.
