Phoukham Cave

The most enjoyable cave to visit is Poukham (Golden Cave) 7 km away. The reclining Buddha and glimmering stalactites give the cave its name, but the main attraction is the swimming lagoon with gorgeous green-blue waters, a rope swing, and fish that you can feed. The lagoon and the cave are the main attraction on the loop. With a further five caves, three villages and several river crossings along the way, the loop heads west through rice fields and deep into karsts country before swinging back on itself, and returning to town along a different track.
