About
Famosa cueva que presenta una estatua de Buda reclinado y conectada con la impresionante piscina natural Blue Lagoon que se encuentra debajo.
Tham Phu Kham Cave is a well-known cave in Vang Vieng, in Laos' Vientiane Province. The cave is also known as Golden Crab Cave, Phu Kham Cave and Blue Lagoon Cave, so you may see any of these names on maps and signs.
What you will see
Inside the cave is a reclining Buddha statue, which is the main focus for most visitors. The cave is a short visit in itself, and the Buddha makes a calm place to stop and look around.
The Blue Lagoon below
The cave is connected to the Blue Lagoon, a swimming spot below it. Many people combine the two, going up to see the cave and then down to the water. The lagoon is a pleasant place to cool off after the walk.
