This stairway leads to the entrance of Tham Khamin, a limestone cavern in Tai Rom Yen, a circa 425 km² National Park in Surat Thani.

The huge cave has a 1,250 meter long path that is open to the public and besides the usual stalactites and stalagmites, it also houses many bats. However, these flying mammals contribute to a foul smell inside the cave, which lead to the grotto being nicknamed Tham Men, literally the Stinking Cave.

Typical for many places of interest in Thailand is also the ever present shrines where visitors can pray or perform tamboon, for a safe journey or for any other wish they might have.
