These limestone caves hold thousands of tiny Buddha statues left by pilgrims over centuries. You need a boat to get here from Luang Prabang, so book a morning kayak combo to dodge the mid-day boat traffic. Don't expect a high-intensity hike; the caves are small and dusty. The river view from the entrance is the highlight. Bring a flashlight and spend 45 minutes max. Skip the souvenir stalls on the shore—they're overpriced and basic.
