You'd probably be better off getting a taxi. When you get there, just before dusk, you sit on somebody's roof to watch the spectacle - nothing special apart from the sight of 2 million bats flying out of the cave, which is actually amazing. When we went, we were the only ones there. The owner of the house will hold his hand out for a tip as you leave (I think we gave 100 Baht each).

Was that Bruce Waynes house? - Some one had to say it...........
Re: Bat Cave near Cha Am
Actually, without GPS it is very hard to find. My GPS took me across a dirt track through the middle of a field. This was particularly spectacular on the way home, when it was dark. Bats everywhere swooping down grabbing the bugs in my headlights. A shame I didn't have a dashcam back then - it would have been a great movie.

Re: Bat Cave near Cha Am
Went this evening. Easy to find the place with the coordinates given in this thread. Stunning to see so many bats streaming out of the cave for 10-15 minutes. and making patterns flying around in the sky. Is it really 2 million? I can believe it.
I'd gone there impressed with the idea that the owner of the 'viewing platform' was philanthropic (or looking to help his karma) and so didn't charge to sit on his roof (there are no services, it's just somewhere to sit), so I was ready to give 100 baht to the guy. But although the big sign saying 'free' is still up, now there is also a handwritten sign saying 20 baht per person, so I stuck to that.

I can't see any coordinates. Were they removed? If so, can someone re-post them?404cameljockey wrote: ↑Tue May 29, 2018 11:38 pm Went this evening.

Re: Bat Cave near Cha Am
Yes, please, repeat the coordinates. Want to show this for kids. After we saw the flying foxes leaving their trees in sunset in Australia, they will surely love it, too.

It’s 2 letters away from Hua Hin
Re: Bat Cave near Cha Am
You've just hit on one of my pet hates. We live in Hua (Hooa) Hin which means Head Rock, not Wa hin.
I made similar noises to 102.5 and I've noticed that since then the adverts are for Hua Hin. Before every advert was for Wa Hin.
Anyway, back to topic.

Re: Bat Cave near Cha Am
I'm sure it was just a typing error, I was just winding the OP up. With my auto correct Hua often comes up as "Whore", maybe I use that word a lot so it seems like a good alternative.
