Roosting of 250,000 swifts
Watch swifts return and bats emerge in one of Thailand’s great natural spectacles.
As the sun sets over the valley, tens of thousands of swifts return to their cave roost, while bats emerge for their nightly hunt. Watch this extraordinary natural spectacle from a bamboo raft with a local guide, exploring the cave’s vast chambers before settling in at the cave mouth for sunset.
Or enjoy the show without leaving Kanlaya’s. Sink into the Jacuzzi around 5.30pm, order a cold beer and look towards the Burmese border as the swifts sweep overhead – sometimes flying right through the pavilion.
No travelling, no calories, no cost – just an unforgettable sunset.
