Tat Kuang Si Waterfalls, Luang Prabang, Laos

January 7/2015 started off bright and sunny, visited the ATM and became an instant millionaire in Laotian KIP, actually less than $150 CDN.


Sally and I rented a scooter and drove 32 kms out through the Lao countryside to the Tat Kuang Si waterfalls located in a tropical rainforest.



We hiked a steep trail to the top of the falls. Only a few tourists make the climb to the top and when we got there only a few tourists were around. I was lucky enough to be able to swim alone in the sparkling turquoise pool, cool and refreshing.



Scrambled down an even steeper slope to view the 160 foot high main falls.

Tat Kuang Si waterfalls is one of a few natural infinity pools. 
There were lots of tourists in and around the lower pools but we were still able to get pictures without them.




Leisurely scooter ride back to Luang Prabang, stopping to photograph water buffalo and sample fruit from one of the many roadside stands. In all an enchanting day ending with a sunset along the Mekong River.
