The limestone hills around Vang Vieng\u00a0have many caves. We decided to visit one of them, the Tham Chang cave, because it is on\u00a0walking distance from the village and considered \u00a0by some to be the most famous one<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Not sure it that is true, I noticed\u00a0considerable confusion on the Internet, probably caused by the fact that Tham means cave in the Lao language, so all cave names start with Tham..:-).<\/p>\n

From the village it is a nice walk of not more than half an hour.\u00a0You have to cross a resort (2000 Kip) and pay for the cave (15000 Kip). Not cheap, but worth it. Steep steps (147, we counted them!) bring you to the entrance of the cave, where a viewing platfom gives you a nice view of the surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
