When wandering on the trails in the village, through the winding roads, winding along the mountainside from one village to another, you will admire the corn fields, the terraced fields in the season of ripe rice, brilliant yellow, beautiful like a picture.

A Phu Cave is also known as Tham Cop Cave, which means Frog in the Thai language, because the east side of the cave looks like a frog's mouth catching its prey. The cave is located in a mountain range, surrounded by primeval forests. In front of the cave is a vast, green field. Inside the cave, you can easily find round pebbles, black stone slabs with artistic patterns that shine like gold, or stalactites sparkling with gold. At the bottom of the cave is a stream flowing along the cave from West to East, the water is clear and cool. It is truly a unique and majestic natural picture.
