Cave Lodge

Shan food is excellent - 20th January, 2009
Did not wind up lodging here, but stopped in for some caving info and a spot of lunch -- the Shan Special was absolutely amazing (three very tasty vegetarian Shan dishes + rice). Looks like a very comfortable place to bunk as well, staff are friendly and helpful, and the homey and casual natural atmosphere are very appealing; the swimming hole was filled with energetic and playful local children.

Great chill-out place - 17th June, 2008
Cave Lodge is a nice place to hang out, meet people, and the rooms are fairly priced. They have bungalows with private bathrooms, but I stayed in a bamboo hut with shared bathroom for 150B a night. They also have dorm beds for 70B. The food is good, and I definitely recommend the Shan Special. I had a good time hanging out, exploring a few caves, and visiting some of the hill tribe villages nearby. Tham Lod is a good alternative to Pai, much quieter but still with plenty to do.

Best stay in Thailand - 14th March, 2008
Great place, good accomodation in different price ranges (from dorm to cosy bungalows); nice communal area, good nights around the campfire. Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere. Planned to stay for 2 nights, decided to keep around for another 6.

Fun Place - 4th June, 2007
Cave Lodge has a great communal area to meet up with other guests. We went went on the kayaking trip which was a lot of fun. We stayed in a bungalow which was nice but very damp and the sheets were stained. Tham Lod cave is a very easy walk from Cave Lodge.

A great charming lodge - 9th January, 2007
Cave Lodge is a great place, and an ideal meeting point where friendship between guests arise of itself. The bungalows (medium - 450 bath) are nice. Hot water shower is inpredictible. The half-day kayaking trip through Tham Lod and down the Lang River (450 bath) is very pleasant and preferable to the walk through the cave. Cave Lodge is a great, charming place.
