Tham Phah Tup Forest Reserve at a Glance

Exploring Tham Phah Tup Forest Reserve

Tham Phah Tup Forest Reserve occupies a small park where a number of caves riddle the limestone hills. Many are adorned with Buddha images, though the trails to each are poorly marked and a little tricky to find, as is the cave complex itself.

Walking the reserve. The area is something of a ramble, and you may find it more enjoyable to walk around the forest reserve than to hunt out the caves. Once you have found them, keep an eye open for birds and butterflies along the track and just up from the office.
