Khao Sok Namtaloo Cave image gallery

 

If you like soft adventure, Khao Sok is one of the best places in Thailand to get it. The limestone karst formations make this park one of the most beautiful national parks in all of Southeast Asia.

This very popular hike is not dangerous if basic safety procedures are followed. Do not go into this cave if it is raining.

Here are some pictures taken in Khao Sok National Park on the Namtaloo Cave hike.

Cave warning sign

We are not going to lie to you, tourists have died in this cave. Eight people died in the summer of 2007 because they went in when it was raining very hard. They were told by the park officials NOT to go in, but they ignored the warning. A flash flood killed everyone except one woman who climbed to safety.

This is a relatively safe adventure if basic safety practices are followed. That means everyone has a waterproof light, there are back-up (spare) lights and batteries with the group, Everyone is wearing proper shoes, the guide has a first aid kit (and is qualified to know how to use it) and there is a proper guide to guest ratio. If you don't go with us, please make sure your guide is prepared with everything listed here.
