The cave
has been formed by water erosion and allegedly has
an underground corridor that connects all the way to the
Mekhong
River, several kilometers away.
Visitors are let in only in small
groups of a few people at a time, as most of the
area in this subterranean place is narrow while the
ceiling is mostly low. |

Year-round, the
cavern is at least in part inundated and visitors are
asked to take off their shoes before entering, as
in most places one needs to walk through shallow streams
or pools of still water.
|
Whereas walking
upright would be virtually impossible for adult visitors
most of the time, in a few places one will also have to
squeeze through narrow corridors, often while wading
through low water.

At certain
spots the passage is in fact so narrow or low that
visitors will have to crawl on their knees or belly in
order to pass through. |
