Another interesting cave is Tham
Pha Nang Khoi which is about 40 kilometres north of
town on Highway No. 101 at Km. 59 within Rong Kwang district.
A 50 metre-long rail leads to the cave mouth. Along the
winding tunnels are strangely-shaped stalactites and stalagmites.
At the end of the cave is a stalagmite shaped like a woman
holding a small child. In front of the Nang Koi (waiting
woman) stone is a heart-shaped stalactite. They are the
source of the legend of the love of a woman who waited for
her lover until she turned into stone. Amid cool forested
area is the Huai Rong Waterfall. It can be reached
by taking Highway No. 101 (Phrae-Rong Kwang) and go on for
60 kilometres northward. Turn left at Km. 78 and proceed
on for a further 4 kilometres.
