LUANG PRABANG: PAK OU CAVES, A LAOLAO BREAK, AND TAT SAE
*** No food in this one.... just drink. If you're interested in the Pak Ou caves, and more waterfalls, read on......
Every guidebook on Luang Prabang mentions, and recommends a visit to the Pak Ou Caves. Located about 25 kilometers from Luang Prabang, the caves are said to have been originally used for worship of the river spirit. When Buddhism was accepted, the use of the caves changed. And over time, the Pak Ou Grottoes have become a repository of approximately 4,000 or so Buddhas. Wow, caves, grottoes, the Mekong...... I'm sold.
