If you are in the area in the late afternoon, you should stop and watch millions of bats fly out of their cave. You can actually visit the cave if you come early, it's a short walk with a little rock climb and a nice view of the valley. The bats pour out of the mountain and flow like a river for about an hour every evening. Parking can be simple if you arrive early but there will be crowds when it's close to time for batman to wake up.
We were here in non-peak season so whilst there was a tour bus of visitors it was not crowded otherwise. The bats will come out around sunset we did go a bit early to make sure we could park and then waited. There are food stalls and drinks for sale. The light wasn't on our side so whilst we could see them they flew quite low so blended into the trees but there were heaps and is still quite something to behold. Apparently there is a bit of a smell but I didn't mind it.
Bat Cave (Phu Pha Man District), Khon Kaen Bat Cave in Phu Pha Man is an amazing natural wonder. Every evening, millions of bats fly out of the cave in a long, twisting stream across the sky — an incredible sight you will never forget. The show usually happens around sunset and lasts for almost an hour. The area around the cave is peaceful, surrounded by mountains and nature, perfect for photography and relaxation. Local people are welcoming, and there are small stalls nearby for snacks and drinks. If you enjoy nature and unique experiences, this place is a must-see when visiting Khon Kaen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Truly spectacular!
Went to the Bat cave. No entry but the bat's fly out at dusk 17:45 approx & return in morning. Honestly. The bat's were streaming out for 10 minutes +. Short term excursion if in area.
sensational place. [...] Hundreds of thousands of bats fly out of the cave every evening... a good 15 minutes without interruption...
The bats started to fly out around 18:00 (early July) and kept on going for more than 15 min
We thought we would go to see what the Bat Cave was like close up so walked right into it. It’s a steep tricky climb, not for the feint hearted, but well worth the effort. We made sure we were back down in the car park 20 minutes before dusk so we could see the mass exodus from the cave. It was an incredible sight. Well worth the journey to see. Top tip we followed was to park in the Car park and watch the first 10 minutes from there. Then walk 100 meters to the car park entrance road to be able to see the cloud of Bats flying out across the fields. There are a couple of shops selling drinks and snacks plus a toilet block. Also quite a few good “Selfie” locations to be found.
Arrived just in time to see the bats leaving for the night. Didn't explore the area
