Inside Vom Cave, there is an underground stream that flows into the Chay River.

Gieng Vooc Cave is about 1km southeast of Mooc Spring Ecotourism Area, more than 400m long, with a stream and 4 lakes in the cave. Although the cave is short, it has beautiful and unique stalactites that seem to hang down to the lake.
