Lawa Cave

ถ้ำละว้า

One of Kanchanaburi’s largest limestone caves, inside Sai Yok National Park, with five chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites.

Lawa Cave lies on the bank of the River Kwai within Sai Yok National Park. It is about 500 metres long and divided into five chambers, with rich stalactite and stalagmite formations. Archaeologists have also found prehistoric artefacts here. The cave has lighting and a walkway, and a visit takes about 45 minutes. Entry is included in the national park ticket or costs a small extra fee. You can drive there from the Sai Yok Waterfall area or reach it by longtail boat along the river. It is often combined with Hellfire Pass and Sai Yok Waterfall as a day trip.
