Tham Phu Pha Phet — Attraction in Trang Province

The Cave itself is impressive and worth visiting, but (as of Oct 2018): As a foreigner you are charged 200,- THB, that is 10x the price of a Thai person for entry in park. Than, if you come with a motorbike you pay an additional 20,- Baht for parking. Then, as you come closer to cave, you are asked to pay another 50 baht for the cave ticket itself. As you walk on, you are asked to rent/ pay for torches, which would help highlighting features inside the cave, but we have not asked for it/ prices. This is 270,- per person + torch rental. It always makes me feel bad, not to pay equal like the local people, and to pay 10 times the price really hurts me. But what really makes me angry is that you are not paying one fee and that is it. As you move on, you are stopped and asked to pay yet another time. An english speaking guide is provided, but not really needed. He only points out interisting shapes. I wish it was clear from the beginning what to pay and not to be treated 10 times worse (price wise) than Thai people. Nice cave,...

Visited on Sunday April 2023. Around 2-3hours Time 30-40min to climb up the cave entrance About 1 hour +to visit the cave due to climb up and down inside the cave with less than 10 %of function light.

The cave was very impressed by a very high and wide space inside the cave.

We couldn't understand the tour guide speaking thru the entire trip. And just heard a few words such as polar bear, Buddha statue, pyramid.

Anyone know where was the fossil or any painting at the wall?

We paying about almost 1000 bhat for 3 persons to the entrance fee and need to pay 60 bhat per person for only 1 tour guide, the tour guide can't speak English as well.

It's not the place that non mountain climber should go. Better take your own headlamp/torchlight for each person if not 20 bhat for a headlamp.

Proposal

1. repair the lights inside the cave
2. tour guide with English speaking
3. reasonable entrance fee for foreigner to attract more...

PhuPhaPetch Cave is the largest cave in Thailand and is ranked as the world's 4th largest cave. Need a guide to walk you through with stories of different part of the cave.

To get into the cave, You have to climb up a small hill to crouch through a small entrance to get into this large cave. For me other than the nature made sculpture and strange shape of the rock The highlights in the cave are these 4 in the photos. I

I spent almost 2 hrs inside...which is much longer than what guide told us at the beginning that the cave tour will spend only 45minutes..how enjoyable we are in the cave..

Entrance fees for local 30baht Torch ...
