The train station at Nam Tok is located approximately 2km away.

The area is also know by the other name Khoa Pung Waterfall.

It is one of the more beautiful waterfalls in Kanchanaburi, but I still think for the extra effort needed to get to, Huay Mae Kamin waterfall is far nicer.

The environment surrounding the falls are shady, but with low rain fall, some areas are left with stagnant water leading to smells and mosquitoes.

A vast majority of the swimming pool areas have been man made by the Thai’s to try and create small pools to swim in. With low rain fall some are unsuccessful.

The waterfall comes to life especially between July to October in the rainy season. King Rama V visited the waterfall around BE 2431. At the site, there is an exhibit of a steam locomotive used during the second world war to commemorate the construction of the Death Railway that runs by the falls to Myanmar (Burma). Many locals visit this waterfall as an opportunity to cool off and have a relaxing lunch on thatched mats. There are change rooms, toilets and many small shops for food available at reasonable prices.

I woke up today thinking I want to go somewhere new on the bike, but most of my local Thailand bucket list was ticket off. Well so I had thought anyway. I decided to jump on the bike and head towards Ratchaburi and make a 'B' line for the mountains in behind it. With no real expectation I just rode and enjoyed the scenery. Well that was until I saw a sign for the Khao Bin Cave, I didn't recognize the name from previous adventures and was quite sure I hadn't been there previously.

Well that was until I saw a sign for the Khao Bin Cave, I didn't know the name and was quite sure I hadn't been there previously. As it turned out I hadn't been there and WOW just really sums up this place. Khao Bin Cave is located 20km from the Ratchaburi city, approximately 85km from Bangkok along the road to Chom Bueng. You turn off the main road and travel along a 2km along an access road, be wary on this road as sections will be at a crawl as it is littered with monkey's. I parked the bike in the carpark and walked towards the entrance of the cave, and was ushered back down the path to a ticket window. Now if you have followed my posts, you will know I have a Thai drivers licence. This comes in handy sometimes and this is one of those times. Farangs pay 200THB to go into the cave, but with me speaking Thai and having a Thai licence I am essentially a Thai in their eyes so I got in for the princely sum of 20THB. Now to suggest that Khao Bin Cave is just another cave is an understatement. You walk down some small tight tiled stairs into the first cavern, if you have even the slightest hint of claustrophobia this may not be the place to go. Once you enter the main cavern, you will notice that the humidity is horrible, you will be dripping in sweat within minutes of exploring. There are no holes in the ceiling letting light in, no ventilation aside from the occasional electric pedestal fan. The moisture on the ground, walls and stalactites (stones hanging from the ceiling caused by water dripping over limestone for many years) gives it a very damp and dank feel. All of that aside, the cave, which extends a massive 300mtrs from the main mouth offer some truly amazing sights and experiences. If your game to explore all the pathways, you will almost find yourself crawling through small spaces into more caverns that seem to go on forever. It is a beautiful cave and it extends 300m from the mouth and offers truly amazing scenes of plentiful stalactite and stalagmite formations. Warning: The air inside is quite heavy and humid, by the end of the walk (approximately 45minutes) I was out of breath, dripping in sweat and eager to exit.As it turned out I hadn't been there, and WOW just really sums up this place.

Tour buses large and small operate within the region.If you driving past in the late afternoon, it’s a great place to stop briefly for a quick cool off in the water as all the tourist buses will have been and gone.

A lot of people express disappointment when they visit Sai Yok Noi waterfall, with the trickle of water and barely cascading it can  be rather underwhelming at times.
