Sightseeing
Spectacular limestone cave with stalactites and stalagmites and holy images of the Buddha. Part of the cave is lit up and easy to access. For the more adventurous, a guide will lead you by lantern through winding passageways and into hidden caverns in the labyrinth beneath Mount Chiang Dao.
The car park of Chiang Dao Cave hosts a score of local restaurants that are only open during the day. Here you can taste dishes made by the women and men of our village. If you don't like it hot, point to the chillis on display and shake your head! Or ask for your food to be 'Mai pet'.
