Viking Cave photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow On Phi Phi Ley's northeast is the famous Viking Cave; this was renamed by H.M.Rama IX when he visited it in 1972, Tam Pya Nak, from the shape of a particular boulder, which resembles in shape the head of the great serpent of
Buddhist legend, the Naga. It is a place much revered by the local people who
come there to collect the swift's nests used to make Bird's Nest Soup, a Chinese
delicacy. On the eastern and southern walls of the cave are colored drawings
dating from historic times.
