  • ^ The Ting Cave, also known as the Pak U Cave, is a cave located in the middle of a large mountain on the banks of the Mekong River. To get there, you need to take a boat trip, which can be boarded at the Chiang Thong Temple pier. During the boat ride, you can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Mekong River. The view is amazing and worth a million dollars.
