Pak Ou Caves When you're in Luang Prabang the next time, and fancy a boat ride on the Mekong, why not do a half-day trip to Pak Ou Cave. Some of you may enjoy the cave, while others may find it, well, boring. To each their own, I say. The tour is roughly around four hours, with the ride to the caves itself taking about two hours. Once you arrive, walk up the stairs and you will come to the first cave called Tham Ting. Just be careful as it is dimly lit. Make your way higher and you come to the second cave called Tham Theung, which is larger and darker. Both these caves are full of Buddha statues, about 4,000 of them. If the caves are not what you expected, or the least bit bothered about, then now is an excellent time to sit at one of the restaurants just down by the river, order a Beerlao, and gaze at the mighty Mekong as it joins the Nam Ou River. _________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs www.nofixedaddress.in _________________________________________ Simply Beautiful 🇱🇦 #laossimplybeautiful #laossimplybeautifulcampaign #laos_simplybeautiful #beerlao _______________ ………. ……... …….. ……. …… ….. …. … .. . #luangprabang #laos #unesco #worldheritage #worldheritagesites #historicplace #temple #architecture #pakoucaves #pakoucavestemple #temple #buddha #visitlaos #explorelaos #cave #buddhism #explore #traveltheworld #beautifuldestinations #neverstopexploring #mekong #mekongriver (at Pak Ou Caves) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJxrp1VMhxs/?igshid=1qcn9d6voymax
