The tunnel was 'digged' by the comrades who were fighting for their ideology during 70's. Their will and spirit really amazed me, since the tunnel was bulid by hand, plus the tunnel was not only hide-out, but also multi-funtions. Please visit the location, I'm sure it more than meet the eyes!! Entrance fee cost 50bth.
