Tham Om is a karst cave in a limestone mountain in Tham village, Chau Tien commune; in the Thai language its name means big cave. It lies about 10 kilometres north of the former Quy Chau town as the crow flies, but the actual route follows National Route 48A and then a commune road for about 23 kilometres. It is an attractive cave with varied natural formations, its mouth about 15 metres up and facing north east, with sediment clinging to the walls. In 1975 it was identified as an archaeological site and excavated; archaeologists recovered three human teeth, many fossil animal bones and teeth, and a quartz tool made by striking the core against an anvil. Bua Cave, with its festival after the first full moon of the year, is close by, so the two caves are often visited together.
