Description
The Pak Ou Caves are located in Laos, a landlocked Southeast Asian country. Consisting of the "lower caves" or Tham Ting, and the "upper caves" Tham Theung, the Pak Ou Caves are situated twenty five kilometers from the city Luang Prabang and overlook the Mekong River. While the lower caves are easily accessible by boat, the upper levels can be reached by stairs. They are perhaps most famous for the interior collection of Buddhas numbering in the thousands. Tham Ting contains about 2,500 Buddhas while Tham Theung boasts a collection of 1,500. The Buddha images have been constructed with wood, and are displayed on shelves lining the walls and all over the floors. They are in a variety of postures: some are seated, while others meditate or recline.
