Like the touristy Batu Caves in Malaysia, the once spiritual
atmosphere of the Pak Ov caves is Laos dissipated
long ago when the slow boats began bringing tourists over from the saturated
Luang Prabang. I saw the caves on the way from Pakbeng to Luang Prabang, and I
would not have made a return journey.
The caves are decorated with hundreds of Buddhas and a few
alters, which make for interesting pictures. However, the entryways are tiny,
and crowded with literally hundreds of tourists. With barely any room to move
or photograph, it is a chaotic experience.
