Tham Chompon cave interior, Ratchaburi province, Thailand
Tham Chompon is one of the most beautiful caves in Ratchaburi province, Thailand. This cave is 30 kilometres west of the town of Ratchaburi in the vicinity of Amphoe Chom Bueng. It was originally called Tham Mutchalin. In 1895, King Rama IV and Queen Si Phatcharin made a royal visit and were fond of its beauty, thus giving it a new name according to the shape of the stalactites which look like the stripes of a militairy officer. The translation of Tham Mutchalin is officers cave. The cave also houses a medium-sized reclining Buddha. It offers truly amazing scenes of plentiful stalactite and stalagmite formations. The lighting in this cave is spectacular.
