The Erawan cave is located in a limestone cliff near the
border to Loei. The cave entrance is reached by climbing a long winding
trail of stairs, which – without a hint of irony – is named “Stairway to
Heaven”.
The stairs start at a Erawan statue and - after roughly 600 steps - end at the cave entrance where
a large Buddha statue sits staring over the rice fields below.
The cave is very large, well lit, and – unlike other caves –
spacious as the inside is “open” and nearly devoid of stalactites This means that there isn’t much spelunking
to do; no challenging tight spots, no risk ascends or descends, no need to
carry a torch. In a way, it can be described as a family friendly cave.
