Spirit Cave, Thailand

Spirit Cave (Tham Phii Man) is an archaeological site in Pang Mapha district, Mae Hong Son Province, northwestern Thailand. It was occupied for four brief periods between 12,000 to 7,000 uncalibrated radiocarbon years ago by prehistoric humans of the Hoabinhian culture. The site was once presented as evidence for the early development of agriculture, but this is now deprecated.
