Tham Lot cave features the largest cave opening in SE Asia with a river passing through the cave that can be explored with local guides (1-3 persons 150 baht) on bamboo rafts (1-3 persons 300 baht). At the exit you can walk back (12 minutes), or you can book the return trip for 400 baht. When you get to the exit at sunset (18:00) you can see hundred thousands of swifts returning to the cave, followed by equal numbers of bats exiting for the night, a spectacular view! You don't have to pay for that (yet), just walk outside to the exit (12 minutes). Bring a torch for the walk back! Also, Phi Man cave contains many stone age coffins inside the cave.
The area also features some of the best tropical forests in Northern Thailand with many day walks possible to explore the jungle, do some birdwatching, and see dozens of varieties of wild orchids.
Many hilltribe villages are located around the area, including Lisu, Red and Black Lahu, Karen, and Hmong. Many can be reached on foot from the main village of Soppong.
A traveling market is set up every Tuesday morning along the road in the main market area, with hilltribe people coming down from the mountains to sell their produce and wares.
