South East Asian Trips

A cave discovered in Khammouan Province in 2004; as many as 200 Buddha statues of all sizes have been found inside. Tham Nong Pafa Cave is a cave in the district of Thakhe, Khammouan Province, Laos. Before you go about knee deep in water to wait for a canoe to arrive you must read the rules on a wooden board near by (written in both Lao and English), and take a rest in the empty huts where people who are associated with the cave will be. When you're done getting prepared (don't bring too much with you but money to borrow a sin to enter the cave), find someone waiting by the dock area to take a maximum of 6-9 people by canoe to the not so far away island (it's probably a 2-4 minute ride). Borrow a sin(traditional lao skirt) from the area you go up the stairs (That is if you're a female with no sin). Check around the island when you get there, there's not much to walk and see, but the flight of stairs you have to go up. By the way take off your shoes before you climb up the stairs. The cave is open until 5pm. No one sleeps there unless they're watching over the cave.
