If you are in the area one thing that is an absolute must is the Sadan Caves. There are lots of caves around with any number of buddhas in them but this one is on another level. The Sadan Cave are seventeen miles from Hpa-An so we chose a taxi for this journey where as everything else is reachable by tuk tuk. Things to bring with you include a torch and a good pair of shoes.<\/p>\n

We were treated at the entrance to the cave by this handsome pair. This lovely monk was very chuffed to have his photo taken and very proud of the cave. We were given a small packet of mud (at least I think thats what it is!) which apparently contains healing properties, unfortunately the instructions that come with it are not in English so I have no idea what to do with it.<\/p>\n

To enter the cave you need to remove your shoes as you do everywhere in South East Asia but TAKE THEM WITH YOU! you will need them for a good ten minute walk back by the river as this is a round trip and you won’t come back the way you came from. The first part of the cave is full of colourful statues and a couple of pagodas and a changing colour skinny Buddha light show! Scroll down to see the film…<\/p>\n
