Nestled inside a limestone cliff on Koh Phi Phi Leh, Viking Cave derives its name from the ship drawings found on its walls. This natural cavern is home to hundreds of swiftlets, which create their nests using saliva. These nests are highly prized and harvested for the production of bird’s nest soup, a costly delicacy in Asian cuisine. Visitors can explore the cave and observe the intricate details of the wall drawings and the unique nesting environment, though the actual harvesting process is not visible to the public.
