Na Yang Bat Cave

ถ้ำค้างคาวนายาง · Also: Nayang Bat Cave

A limestone hill in Tambon Na Yang that shelters around a million bats; every evening they pour out of the cave in a ribbon more than 10 km long, watched from a village viewing area with parking and toilets.

The cave lies in a limestone hill about 150 m high, with a large entrance facing north. Around a million small insect-eating bats live inside. It is about 12 km from Cha-am town.

Every evening the bats stream out of the entrance in a line more than 10 km long to feed through the night, returning to the cave the next morning. In the cool season they emerge every day.

The viewing spot is on villagers' land and has parking and toilets. Na Yang municipality lists an entry fee of 20 baht per person, and local products and fruit are sold nearby.

When to go

The bats leave the cave every evening: news reports from December 2024 give roughly 17:00–18:00 and say they come out daily in the cool season, while Na Yang municipality gives 17:30 onwards.
