Pak Ou Caves
The Pak Ou Caves can be found overlooking the Mekong river roughly two hours upstream from Luang Prabang.
The caves are treated as a shrine and contain hundreds of Buddha statues, most of which are fairly small and many have suffered damage due to the exposed nature of the site.
The setting is spectacular and whilst the caves themselves aren't particularly large their setting and collections of Buddha images make them an unforgettable sight (the lower cave has by far the largest concentration of sculptures).
