located 3 kilometers beyond Sao Chaliang the
Pha Taem and Pha Mon are two steep cliffs overlooking Mekong
river with a clear view of Laos on the other side. On the
cliffs surface there are prehistoric paintings dating back
3,000 - 4,000 years, reflecting ancient ways of life of
the people who once lived in the area, such as Buk fishing
(Buk is a species of large scaleless fish found in the Mekong
river), and rice farming. Figures of people, animals, hands
and geometric designs are also depicted.
