Viking Cave is a massive cavern at the base of a limestone cliff on Phi Phi Leh island. It's famous for ancient cave paintings resembling Scandinavian Viking ships, though their origin remains mysterious. The cave is closed to visitors due to active bird's nest harvesting — swiftlet nests used for traditional Chinese bird's nest soup. Visitors can only view it from boats.
