Thailand hosts some fascinating caves to explore, many found in the kingdom’s National Parks. All over the country, from Chiang Dao in the north to the very southern tip of the kingdom, caves are revered as magical and mystical places. Many caves are actually active temples and provide the venue for meditation retreats and other Buddhist activities. The rock formations in many of the kingdom’s caves are quite remarkable – thousands of years of wear have moulded natural sculptures from stalagmites and stalactites, and some caves even house rivers and ponds.
