Upon arrival to the Pak Ou caves, explore the mysterious cave that is split into two, with one being named Tham Thim and the other one being named Tham Theung. The Pak Ou caves are the home of an abundance of Buddha statues that are littered all around the cave and the statues are in different shapes and sizes, which can be predated back to over centuries ago. The caves are still being used amongst believers within the Lao community as a site of pilgrimage. In April, the local Lao people will celebrate the Lao New Years which will result in people congregating in the caves to watch the ceremonial washing of the Buddha statues, which was said to bring in prosperity and gain some merits.

Then, you will indulge in some delectable lunch at the local restaurant, where you will be able to taste some delicious Lao cuisine that will without the doubt arouse your taste buds.

Currently, the tradition is still being for used to produce a wide variety of Lau Lao and Lau Hai. After an exhausting day, you will leave the Bang Xai Hai with memories that will last a lifetime.
