Tham Tako Bi Cave (Tham Tako Bi) is one of the important natural attractions in Umphang District, located near the main entrance to Umphang.

Cave Characteristics: The cave is a large limestone formation believed to have been created by long-term erosion from underground streams. Inside, the cave features gently sloping paths alternating with flat areas, along with several spacious chambers. Visitors can explore the cave comfortably, as walkways and lighting have been installed in certain sections.

Interior Beauty:

Stalactites and Stalagmites: The cave contains a rich variety of limestone formations, including limestone curtains, stone pillars, and uniquely shaped stalactites. Some formations are still alive and actively growing.

Light Shafts: Natural openings in parts of the cave ceiling allow sunlight to stream inside, illuminating the moist rock surfaces and creating breathtaking beams of light that resemble another world beneath the earth.

Activities:

Cave Exploration: Walk through the underground chambers and admire the natural formations. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours.

Nature Study: Learn about geological processes and limestone formation within the cave system.
