Buddah caves (Pak Ou) or Khuangsy Waterfall? Leave tomorrowCountry forums / South-East Asia Mainland / Laos | ||
So which on would you sugest is better if only to see one of them in one day??? Or, i consider to se both with a scooter. Has anyone done the scooter ride to Pak Ou? Leave tomorrow, appreciate replies asap :) | ||
This is a very easy decision. Pak Ou caves is just a bunch of dusty Budda figures in a dusty cave, not at all worth visiting in my estimation.. Although the Ou is a beautiful river, but mainly if you go farther up. | 1 | |
Pak Ou Caves is interesting but if you have to pick on, Kuang Si waterfalls is better choice. I’ve rode a motorbike to Pak Ou just for the thrill of it. Very good road but it does required getting off the main route 13 about ¾ to Nam Ou River. You will need to hire a boat to get you a cross Mekong to the caves. | 2 | |
I'd definitely chose the waterfalls over the Caves. The Buddha Caves were a bit dusty and didn't look as cool as they did in the photos. The waterfalls however were gorgeous! And there were so many of them. I did see tourist options to go to both in one day if you really wanted to... | 3 | |
