  Pak Ou Caves

 

Laos

Tham Ting is the lower of two caves on the Mekong River in Laos, which are collectively known as the Pak Ou Caves and located about 25 kilometers from the city of Luang Prabang.

 

The caves are noted for their hundreds of Buddha images, most of them small and made of wood. Due to the high humidity many of the wooden sculptures have over time become putrid.
