KhaoChaAng FivePeak Cave is a limestone cave of significant geological and ecological importance, located in the Khao Cha-Ang area, Bo Thong District, Chonburi Province. The cave features a series of large interconnected chambers and is renowned for its exceptionally well-preserved stalactites and stalagmites, which are considered among the most beautiful in Thailand. These formations were created through the slow accumulation of minerals over hundreds of thousands of years, reflecting the irreplaceable value of natural processes.

The cave also plays an important role in conservation and scientific research, as it provides a habitat for various cave-dwelling organisms, including bat colonies and unique microorganisms that contribute to the cave’s delicate ecosystem. Due to its high conservation value, Khao Cha-Ang Five-Peak Cave is not open to the general public and is reserved primarily for academic study in fields such as geology, biology, and environmental science.

Another distinctive feature of the cave is its geological structure, which serves as valuable evidence of the region’s natural history. The limestone layers, cave walls, and mineral patterns record changes in landscape and environmental conditions over time, making the cave a natural underground classroom of great educational significance.

Although not a recreational tourist attraction, Khao Cha-Ang Five-Peak Cave is regarded as a national natural heritage site. Its preservation is essential for protecting fragile ecosystems and passing on scientific knowledge to future generations, representing a model of sustainable coexistence between humans and nature.

Travel Tips

• Best Visiting Season: This cave can be visited year-round (January - December) because it is a dry cave and not prone to flooding. The cool season (November - February) offers the most comfortable trekking weather.

• Equipment: While there is some electric lighting, it is highly recommended to bring a high-quality flashlight to fully appreciate the sparkling "diamond" effects on the cave walls.

• Footwear: Wear sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes with good grip. Some parts of the cave floor can be uneven or slightly damp and slippery.

• Cave Etiquette: Do not touch the stalactites or stalagmites. The oils from human skin can stunt their growth and darken the minerals. Always follow the "Leave No Trace" principle.
