When Mr Bun Nong used a vine to scramble 15m up a sheer 200m-high cliff in April 2004 he discovered a narrow cave mouth and, stepping into the cavern beyond, was greeted by 229 bronze Buddha images. The Buddhas, ranging from 15cm to about 1m tall, were sitting as they had been for centuries facing the entrance of a cave of impressive limestone formations. It's 14km from Tha Khaek and it costs 100,00K to reach by tuk-tuk.
