Tham Pha Thai National Park
อุทยานแห่งชาติถ้ำผาไท
A large limestone cave beside National Highway 1, with huge stalagmites and a reclining Buddha inside. It makes a convenient stop when driving from Lampang toward Phayao.
Located about 60 kilometers northeast of Lampang, in Ngao District beside National Highway 1, the main cave, Tham Pha Thai, extends about 1 kilometer deep. Shrines and Buddha images stand at the entrance, and the cave's large chamber features a stalagmite about 20 meters tall along with numerous stalactites. A walk through the cave takes about an hour. Lighting is limited in some areas, so you may want to rent a flashlight. The park also has a waterfall and viewpoints. Admission for foreign visitors is about 100 baht. It's a good stop if you're driving on to Phayao or Nan.
