Cave in Pang Mapha-Thailand
These breathtakingly beautiful photographs from Thailand were taken by Australian cave explorer John Spies who has been exploring caves scattered around the world for 30 years of his life. Like the hunters of artifacts he found documented prehistoric cave art, ancient underworld burial grounds, Buddhist relics and hundreds of bats living in a dark cave. But most of all he likes Amazing Caves in Thailand. John has discovered caves where no human had visited before and his expertise in the field led him to work with Sir David Attenborough on his acclaimed Planet Earth BBC television series. “I found a lot of unexplored caves, but the best, in my opinion, are in Thailand,” – says John.
