On our way back we had a pit stop at the “Whiskey” village where we bought Black sticky rice wine (with NO snake inside!).

There is more than 4000 sculptures of Buddha in the Tam Ting Cave.

For the most part they are carved from wood or moulded from a tree resin then coated in a red or black lacquer and covered in gold leaf.

The Ban Pan Ou cave above this cave was pitch-dark and the iPhone was no match so no pictures. (just picture a dark cave full of Buddha 😉).

A little stop for refueling.
One does not necessarily thing about the logistics involved.
Didn’t ask where the gas was coming from ;-).
