Tham Jang Cave

Tham Jang Cave (or The Chang cave) is situated on the Southern side of Vang Vieng. If you just follow the Nam Song road (road on the river) and follow the signs to Jam Mee guesthouse. When you pass Jam Mee guesthouse you follow the road till you get to the gate of Vang Vieng resort. Here you have to pay 2000 kip per person for crossing the bridge. Across the river you will find the cave. There is also a view point from where you have a nice view over Vang Vieng. The cave is well lit and has stairs. It is not a special cave, but if you don’t have time to visit the other caves it is a good option. At the foot of the cave crystal clear water runs out of the mountain into the river. If you have snorkel gear you can enjoy the clearest views ever Tham Jang is a leisurely 20 minutes walk (past rice paddies and over the Nam Song River) from the town centre. The walk to the cave is a sight-seeing opportunity itself. Of course, we didn’t miss an opportunity to pose on the bright orange footbridge over the river.
