Historical

Phamua Dang Cave (Red Hand Cave) Phamua Dang Cave, a shred of rock three meters wide and 60 meters long, has red handprints on the wall. The two handprints look like people soak hand in red color and print on the wall. Other four handprints look like people put their hands on the wall and paint over. These may mean the information exchange of pre-historic people about 3,000 years ago. (It can be concluded that 3,000 years ago had no color spray)
