In April the water is so low you can see the blue water pipes that feed the water to this man-made sprayed on concrete disaster. The whole point of this place is to attract you to the area so you spend your money on the elephant rides and/or zip-lines. More

during our visit there wasn't any water, however the area was lovely and we enjoyed the zip line activity that we offered at this location -- views from the top of the trees was incredible! Don't miss it! More

This waterfall is quite nice but needed a bit of taking care of such as litter picking up, a bit messy! But the waterfalls are nice to see even though i saw them in the dry season so not that much water but i would imagine better at a different time of year!! More

After an exciting trip up the river in a longtail boat from the elephant village this was a lovely quite haven - with more elephants. The only drawback was that they resident baby elephants had been sponsored by the King to go to a festival elsewhere in laos More

We visited here in the dry season so the falls were a litlle disappointing - but I imagine that they are spectacular in the wet season. We saw our first wild snake here - just remember snakes do live here if you are wandering around! More

Visited this place. Dirty and vile unlike kuang si which is beautiful. No water and it's piped in places. The elephants are very aggressive so don't recommend riding them. We did and it was horrific. Guide couldn't control it. It was so frightening. Had to stop after 10 minutes and partner was in tears. I've done rides elsewhere and nothing... More

We also visit this waterfall site. The moment that you enter the site, you are thinking if you are on a set of professional photographers ready to take pictures of you and the waterfall to be featured in the brochures! Amazing... More
