Tham Khangkhao (Bat Cave)

Tham Khangkhao, commonly known as Bat Cave, is a natural limestone cave located in Ban Mung Subdistrict, Wang Thong District, Phitsanulok Province, northern Thailand. The cave is known for its large resident bat colony and the spectacular evening exodus when thousands of bats emerge at dusk. Set amid forested karst hills near Thung Salaeng Luang National Park, it is a quiet nature attraction visited for wildlife observation and photography.
