THAM PHAKOUNHUOAY

A visit to this cave located 35 km south of the city is a good idea for a walk. Take the road to Pak Lai and then turn left at the junction at Ban Houaykeng. Stop for lunch in Ban Nathang and embark on a two-hour walk through rice fields, wooded hills, and rock formations. On the way, visit the cave with its impressive karst formations and, for the more adventurous, follow the stream that runs for several kilometres through the vast cave system.
