Tat Kuang Si#9 - Laos 2011

When I first visited this waterfall many many years ago the only way to get there was on a motorbike. It was completely undeveloped and there was only one pool that you could swim in. Now all five pools have been landscaped and are accessible for swimming and the surrounding grounds have been developed for tourism. There is a huge restaurant and cabins to change in for swimming. It is still a lovely place to visit and you can still climb right to the top where there is a great view.

 

The Kuang Si Falls alternatively known as the Tat Kuang Si Waterfalls, is a three-tiered waterfall about 29 kilometers south of Luang Prabang. The waterfalls begin in shallow pools on top of a steep hillside. These lead to the main fall with a drop of 60 meters. The water flows into a turquoise blue pool before continuing downstream. The many cascades that result are typical of waterfalls.
