Bua Cave in Thai is called Bua Deep, formed on the Pha En limestone mountain range in Na Nhang village, Chau Tien commune, Quy Chau district, 170 km northwest of Vinh city. |

Over millions of years of natural geological formation, Bua Cave has created an extremely majestic and mysterious beauty. Bua Cave is associated with the folk legends of the Thai people, including the love story of Khun Tinh, a heroic character in the epic of the indigenous Thai people. |

The cave is quite large, with many stalagmites, stone pillars, and stalactites creating vivid shapes. The rocks in the cave are naturally carved into abstract shapes such as terraced fields, gongs, princess beds, etc., or tools associated with the ancient lives of the Thai people such as knives, crossbows, and sickles. |

The stalactites have many rich, diverse and extremely interesting shapes. |
