Attraction
Tiger Cave, Koh Lanta
Tiger Cave lies in the same limestone hills as Khao Mai Kaew, in the wooded centre of Koh Lanta, and is usually visited alongside it or as a shorter alternative for those who do not want the full scramble.
The chambers hold stalactites and flowstone and the approach is through plantation and forest, quiet and shaded. As at Khao Mai Kaew there is no lighting and no boardwalk; a guide and a torch are needed.
Both caves are on private and community land and the guiding is done by families who live nearby. Going with them is the arrangement, not an upsell.
