Cave Lodge

Getting to the Cave Lodge felt a little crazy; renting a car, driving in Thailand, a drive which was described as so dangerous you get a certificate if you make it without incident, and 4 hours of driving at that. Well, it was easy renting the car, the drive was awesome no worse than driving to Yosemite and the trip was well worth it.

We stayed at the Cave Lodge for 3 nights. It overlooked the Nam Lang River and was conveniently less than a kilometer from the entrance to Tham Lod.



It has been the highlight of our accommodations so far. The bungalow we rented was 200 baht a night.



Plus the gathering area alone was almost worth the trip. It felt like camp, only tropical island style, with a large fire on the main deck, hammock, swing and restaurant bar, sheltered by a thatch roof. At night we had a fire in the center deck, nothing like lighting a match in a tinder box. Cold showers and internet isolation seemed like a small price to pay. :)
