Tham Lawt means literally "Tube Cave" and is a cave over the water which allows boats and kayaks to pass through the cave. One of the limestone formations in the cave looks like a mermaid perched over the water. The second cave, Tham Pii Hua To, meaning "the big-headed ghost cave. This cave is an expanse of hidden crevices great for hiding and rocks perfect for scrambling.
