This festival is very accurately described in the late Captain Forbes British Burma.

By the Burmese they are known as the Ka-yon-Caves. They are easily accessible to visitors. Taking a gharry from the town the route lies through Cantonments, the Daing-wunkwin quarter of the town, and thence along the straight road through the paddy fields to the village of Naung-bin-saik on the banks of the Attaran. Leaving the gharry here, you cross the river in the ferry boat, and complete the journey on the other side in bullock-carts. A good metalled road runs right up to the entrance to the cave, the distance from the bank of the Attaran being about six miles. These caves, owing to their accessibility from Moulmein, have long been a resort for picnic seekers of all nationalities.
