Le Khaokob Cave ถ้ำเลเขากอบ

Le Khaokob Cave, Trang Province, Thailand (3 November, 2005)


Le Khaokob Cave ถ้ำเลเขากอบ (GPS: 7.79187, 99.57428), also known simply as Ley Cave, is a cave system located about 7 kilometers from Trang City. The cave has become one of the chief on-land attractions of Trang Province.

To visit Le Khaokob Cave, you have to enter it by boat. There are boat rides which you can take from a pier nearby. From there, the boat takes you on a short journey through a river which eventually emerges from the cave itself. One of the great excitements of visiting Le Khaokob Cave is this boat ride. Often the ceiling of the cave is so low that everybody in the boat has to lie flat in order to pass through. As you lie down in the boat looking up, the light from the guide's torch illuminates the stalactites hanging from the ceiling. Often the come very close to your face, that you are forced to move aside to avoid them.

The subterranean river takes you to a landing site where you disembark from your boat to explore the cave. The cave has been beautified with colored lights. There are numerous stalactites and stalagmites creating various formations within Le Khaokob Cave.

After exploring Le Khaokob Cave for about twenty minutes, you are informed to return to the boat for your return journey to the pier.
