    I suspect that if the caves in Thailand were as nice as Mexico, you wouldn't have any trouble finding pictures of them.

    There are shallow caves in Khao Sok National Park. I was gonna go there with a shop located on Koh Tao but oped out out when I saw some footage. They also told told me that those caves were kind of short. You should be able to find some info when you google for Khao Sok and cave diving. I'd much rather dive in Oz though.
    I believe the the caves pat mentioned are further south close to Krabi and pretty much drop straight down but I haven't been there either.
