From Chau Tien commune (Quy Chau district), travel about 10km along National Highway 48 to reach Tham Chang Cave. According to the Thai ethnic group, Tham Chang means "elephant cave." Local Thai people often tell stories that in the past, King Quang Trung Nguyen Hue, while fighting battles, took his elephants into this cave for shelter, hence the name Tham Chang Cave.
