Pak Ou Caves in Laos are a fascinating cultural and spiritual site located at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Ou rivers, about 25 kilometers from Luang Prabang. These caves, known locally as Tham Ting and Tham Theung, are famous for their thousands of Buddha statues left by pilgrims over the centuries. The statues vary in size and are made from various materials, including wood, bronze, and gold. The caves are accessible by boat, offering visitors a scenic journey along the Mekong River.
