During our 2 weeks caving in Cambodia in June 2008, we found several bat caves. Some had very large colonies of bats. A few of the caves we did not enter as the stench of guano was totally overpowering, and one cave in particular stunk of almost pure ammonia. This was quite different from Laos, where most caves were devoid of bats, as the locals actively hunt them for food.
This is one cave we didn't enter as the stench of ammonia was overpowering. However a local managed to catch this live bat so I could photograph it before releasing it.
