Description: |

Chom Phon Cave was the name given by King Rama V when he visited
the cave. He thought that the stalactite in the cave called “Pha
Vichit” has the similar shape as Inthorn bow on the shoulder of
the field officer. The cave used to be called “Muchalin Cave”
located in Chom Bung district at Chom Phon Mountain which was
first known as “Khao Klang Muang” surrounded by shady trees and
beautiful flowers next to Ratchapat institute at Chom Bung
village.
The air
condition inside the cave is not hot because there is a crater
for air ventilation at the center of the cave. The cave size is
30 meters wide and 25 meters long. It is one of the beautiful
stalactite caves.
Some parts of the cave look similar to
dolls and thrones. The cave is given numerous name due to its
beautiful sights including “Pha Vichit”, “Tarn Sila”, “Soi
Raya”, “Sae Jamaree”, “Tong Phrarong”, “Prasit Dhewa” and “Kesa
Saluay”.
At the deepest part of the cave, there are
walking Buddha image and the Buddha image in the attitude of
Nirvana situated with the hole above where the light comes in.
King Rama VI used to visit the cave when he led the scout troop
to practice the battle in Ratchaburi. Later when visiting the
cave, King Rama IX, Queen Sirikit and the Princess Mother had
planted teak tress, Pink Cassia and Nonsi trees there at the
entrance of the cave. Also, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Maha
Vajiralongkorn used to have lunch at arboretum at Chom Phon
Cave. There is also the king’s signature engraved at the
entrance of the cave when first establishing Crown Prince
Hospital in Chom Bung. |
