Khamkeut

Khamkeut lies in a valley among the limestone hills of the Annamese uplands. Karst cliffs rise sharply above the Thong Saen plain, where the Nam Kata winds through low ground subject to seasonal flooding. Caves in the limestone preserve traces of much older inhabitants. The region has also been home to speakers of Sek, a Tai language found in villages around Khamkeut and the neighbouring highlands.
