Hey in Laos, Thailand and Cambodia has The serpent. Maybe one of em could be hiding in there. IDK new discovery meaning new "things". =] That's cool!

That ain't no ant size.
Can't do spiders.
But that's great.
I will have to ask my aunt the next time I talk to her.
She lives in Pakse.

ahahah that spider looks like crab legs yummy lmao!

i can do spiders, but i can't swim hahaha so i don't think i can go there. i've told a buddy about the cave and he's avid caveman hahah and said, "let's go"... but i said "ugh... sure... ok i'll go and wave to u as u go on ur inflatable raft heading towards the cave" haha.

looks like fun, can't wait til i go back to explore laos...hmm maybe open a hotel too hahah, in my dreams that is
