Lion Hill Cave

Chiang Rai, Thailand

About

Lion Hill Cave Located 2 km west of town, directly across the Mae Kok River from Pattaya Noi. On its west end there's a Buddha Cave and a pleasant picnic/park area. Close to its east end, there's a 3-chambered cavern, and each chamber has a natural skylight at its apex. The largest chamber is big enough to house a middle-aged sequoia tree. Trekkers can hike through the hills from the river side (south) to the road side (north). Volunteers from nearby Boomerang Park have kept both approaches clear of weeds, and have cut a new path leading from the north opening to the road below. Lion Hill is also home to Thailand's largest red fig tree, halfway along the hill on the river side. Early summer is when you can see its massive branches covered in dark pink figs.
