The Ban Rai rockshelter is a cave near Ban Huai Rai village in the Pang Mapha district of northwestern Thailand, which was inhabited by the Hoabinhian culture in the late Pleistocene and early Holocene (ca. 12,500-10,250 BP) and by the Log Coffin culture ca. 100 BC - 800 AD. The cave, which opens to the north, is 105 metres wide, 42 metres deep, and 30 metres deep. It is located next to a waterfall, where the Nam Lang stream flows into a sinkhole, about 10 km southwest of Tham Lod rockshelter.
