How are you, brother? Let's go on a trip to the amazing "Waterfalls of Southern Laos"!

Hello everyone, today I have another review for you. This time, we're going on a hike in the forest. Let's go hiking together.

Today, I will take you to the southern Laotian waterfalls "Tad Khamid Tad Seua", the best waterfalls in southern Laos. What makes them so great? You'll have to follow me to find out. I can tell you that anyone who sees them will be amazed! Haha.

Let's start our journey.

Muey joined a backpacking group trip, where costs were shared among the participants. She did not know anyone in the group.

We opted for this group trip because we have long desired to visit Tad Chompoo but lacked the courage to embark on a solo adventure. Therefore, we decided to share the experience and costs with others.

The translation of the provided text is:

We started our journey from Bangkok. We took a van to Ubon Ratchathani province. We traveled at night and woke up in the morning. We stopped to visit this place first. We arrived at the temple around six in the morning.

Sirindhorn Wararam Phu Proa Temple

We only captured a rough atmosphere because we were sleepy. Haha! In fact, this temple should be visited at night when it is illuminated, which is the highlight of this temple.

Change to the van at the Mag channel. Please have your passport ready as it will be required when crossing to the Laos side.

Bringing your own pen will expedite the process, as you will not need to wait in line for a pen.

We crossed the border into Laos and completed the immigration process at the Lao checkpoint. We exchanged some Thai baht for Lao kip to buy some chrysanthemum tea. We also bought SIM cards in Laos. We were immediately approached by vendors selling various items. The marketing was excellent, and they even helped us change our SIM cards. We each paid 100 Thai baht for the SIM cards. We then traveled to Nong Luang village, which took about three hours, to prepare for our ascent to the plateau.

We have arrived at Nong Luang Village.

Our plan is to leave some of our unnecessary belongings at the homestay and hike to the plateau with our backpacks, tents, and sleeping bags for a night of camping and a small party. We will then hike to Tad Seua Waterfall and Tad Khamid Waterfall before returning to the homestay for another night.

We stopped for lunch at the homestay and then started preparing for our hike to the plateau.

We took a few photos to prepare ourselves before starting our hike up the mountain.

Grabbed some chrysanthemum tea to go in my backpack, haha.

The Champasak region of Laos is the wettest in the country, with frequent rainfall. As a result, we were fully prepared for the rain, with rain covers for our backpacks and leech socks (leeches are present throughout the trail). This led to some rather vibrant attire among the group!

A short walk from the village, we will encounter the sign for the entrance to the large camp, which marks the starting point of our trek into the forest.

The trail is flat and easy to walk on. You can walk at a leisurely pace.

After walking for a while on the red dirt plateau, I came across the legendary sling that people take cool pictures on. It was really high! I wondered if it was a river or a waterfall that we had to cross first. Since I didn't want to get wet, I decided to climb the sling. It was my first time climbing a sling, and it was a bit scary. My backpack was also heavy and pulling me down.

As we continue our journey, we realize that there are many more muddy rivers to cross. Oh yeah!

We thought it would rain, so we took off our raincoats. However, it didn't rain, so we started to feel hot and sweaty. We decided to take off our raincoats and put them away.

The trail alternates between dirt and waterfalls, with occasional muddy sections. Leeches are also prevalent along the path.

The trail then leads to rocky terrain and a forest that shows signs of logging. Local residents have cleared the forest to plant coffee trees.

The following is a translation of the provided text from Thai to English, adhering to the specified guidelines:

After a three- to four-hour trek, we finally arrived at the Bolaven Plateau. The Phra Phae flowers were in full bloom across the meadows above.

The following is a translation of the provided text from Thai to English:

The area on the plateau is surrounded by pine trees. We just arrived, set up our tents, and quickly cooked dinner because it was getting late.

The ground above is still very damp, with thick, soft moss growing on it. If it rains, it will definitely seep into the tent.
The moss above is like a soft cushion, interspersed with stones and white sand, which seems to come from the stones.

Clumps of monkey cups grow here and there. It's amazing to come across them while walking. This is my first time seeing them.

The evening has arrived, it's time to set up a party! Hooray!

Another dish is steaming white rice and grilled pork.

Let's cook instant noodles together.

While cooking, we went out to capture the sunset.

We also went to grill shrimp with our seniors. Haha.

We are most afraid of the rain, and the tent will not be able to hold it. Because we will definitely not survive. We have been walking all day and have not encountered any rain. I think we will have to face it at night.

The sun has set, and it's starting to get dark. We're gathered around, eating dinner as the air turns cool and crisp.

We sat around talking and sharing experiences for a long time.
As the stars began to rise, the photographers in the trip started setting up their tripods, waiting to capture the Milky Way.
We were lucky enough to see the Milky Way because the sky was clear. We were also fortunate that it didn't rain, as we had feared.

The photographer who told me to open the shutter at a low speed, set up a tripod, and stand still for a long time.

Their skills are exceptional, resulting in stunning photographs.

The original text describes a simple breakfast routine that is disrupted by an unexpected turn of events.

Here's the breakdown:

• Morning: The text starts by describing the morning routine, indicating that the speaker wakes up and prepares for breakfast.
• Simple breakfast: The speaker mentions wanting a simple breakfast, suggesting a preference for something quick and easy to prepare.
• Rice porridge: The speaker's sibling intends to make rice porridge, a common breakfast dish in many Asian cultures.
• Unexpected twist: However, there's a twist. Instead of rice porridge, the sibling ends up making boiled pork because they only have pork available.

This short text provides a glimpse into a daily routine and highlights the element of surprise and adaptability that can occur in everyday life.

The sentence is empty. Please provide a sentence or phrase to translate.

No worries about feeling lonely on this trip, because we have a speaker to keep us company! Haha!

Photographers captured images from the original location, the Bolovan Plateau tent camp.

The waterfalls we will visit are Tad Khammud and Tad Seua, which are visible from the top of Dan Camp.

The original text describes a location called "Tad Khamid Waterfall" and mentions ziplining and treehouse accommodations. It also suggests bringing food to enjoy lunch at the location.

Here's the translated text:

We then prepared to descend to Tad Khamid Waterfall, the same location where the zipline and treehouse accommodations are situated. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and enjoy lunch at this spot.

Our group was much more adventurous, we walked back to the camp to eat. The whole tour group went together.
The path to Tad Khamuen Waterfall was quite challenging for us because
the path was very slippery and we had to walk through a dense rainforest with a lot of mosquitoes. We also encountered a line of wild termites.

The nature of Laos is incredibly lush and green.
The ground is covered in moss and is very humid, especially near the waterfalls.
There is mud to cross, and the river is not as full as it was when we walked into the main camp.

The trail is extremely steep, with constant uphill and downhill sections.
The Laotian forest is dense with thorny trees and undergrowth.

The spider-like creature, Bung, descended and clung to the surface with its web-like threads.

It is highly recommended to wear gloves and prepare a waterproof backpack for a smooth hike, as the trail is rough, humid, and extremely slippery.
After a couple of hours of continuous uphill and downhill trekking, we finally started hearing the sound of...

...a waterfall! Hearing the sound along the way filled us with joy and anticipation. We were so close! We were almost there! We couldn't contain our excitement. Just kidding, we were just a little bit excited.

As we continued our journey, the leader shouted, "We've arrived!" Oh, the heavenly sound of paradise on earth! We were overjoyed. Our perseverance had paid off, and we were about to witness the magnificent waterfall. Let's go! Let's do this!

By the way, we didn't encounter any rain during our hike. We were incredibly lucky on this trip. Haha!

The waterfall is here. Are you ready? ...

The breathtaking view from the viewpoint at the Treehouse.

The treehouse, which will be a stopover point, has a bathroom and drinking water available. There is also a campfire where you can cook food. I saw two orange cats and a creature that wasn't a bumblebee or a snail, which was quite interesting!

Walking a little further on the bridge, you can play in the waterfall. There are rocks where the waterfall flows gently.

The water is the coldest ever. You have to understand the feeling of not having showered since yesterday. The upper part of the stream is very small above the camp, so it's better to boil water to drink. We didn't shower because we were going to bathe in the waterfall. We just wiped ourselves with wet wipes.

Here it is, our amazing waterfall!

The Tad Khamid is on the left, and the Tad Seua is on the right.

Fortunately, the water level was very high this year, and the porters kept a close eye on us as we went down to play in the water. They said that the water level was very high this year, so it was dangerous, so they stood guard. There were large rocks where people stood and took cool pictures. I said... that no, I didn't dare to go up. I was afraid of slipping and falling headfirst. I really didn't dare. Another reason was that I was so into the amazing view in front of me that I forgot to take out the camera I was holding. Oh, the water flow was really strong, so I really wanted everyone to be there. We sat down to take pictures, go to the bathroom, drink water, and after an hour and a half, we walked back up to the camp to cook food to eat before packing up to go down to the homestay. We arrived at the main camp checkpoint around noon, had lunch, and then packed up to go down the mountain. On the way down, they had already talked about going to play in the waterfall where they had to climb the rope. We went with the motivation to play in the water. On the way down, the flat path was faster, and we only walked for a short time before reaching the waterfall, where we played in the water with peace of mind.

As I walked down, my leg muscles twitched uncontrollably. It was a real twitch, haha. 5555
Then I went down to play in the waterfall. Oh, a cramp! Oh my god, it really happened. It was in the fast-flowing water, but luckily, there were many people playing with me, so I didn't get swept away.

We descended the mountain in a short time and stopped by the waterfall at Sling for a quick dip to refresh ourselves. Then we walked down to the homestay, took a shower, and the local villagers who owned the homestay had already prepared a delicious meal for us.

The grandparents who own the homestay. Grandma is Laotian. She speaks slowly and walks over to sit and chat with us all the time.
Grandma told us that she has 11 children. Around the house, there are pre-wedding photos of young men and women, so we asked Grandma, "Grandma, which one is your child?"
She said that her youngest daughter is her favorite. She got married to a young man from Ubon this past February.
They took their pre-wedding photos at the top of Bolaven Plateau. It's quite beautiful.

There was a small child, whose name we can't recall, who was incredibly adorable. They allowed us to hold and comfort them, and they were very tiny.
Seeing the children in that area enjoying themselves in such a simple way brought us joy.

The two-story homestay house is built on stilts, similar to traditional rural houses in Thailand. The upper floor serves as sleeping quarters and a spacious dining area. We slept here, next to the pre-wedding photos I mentioned earlier.

The next morning, we woke up early because it rained heavily around 3 am at the homestay. The sound was like a large gong.

Waking up at six o'clock, we performed a morning alms offering to the monks who arrived at the homestay. A light rain fell throughout the morning, and the fog began to roll in early.

Most of the food we didn't take pictures of (because we ate it all too quickly, haha!). However, the eating style is similar to ours, with a focus on sticky rice. Every meal included rice and fish dishes. My favorite was the breakfast dish on the day we left, which was "khanom jeen" (rice noodles). It was even better than the one we had in Vang Vieng, and there was a huge portion. It was served with "khao jee" (toasted sticky rice) as well. As I said, they really went all out with every meal.

Although we may not have known each other at the beginning, we are now friends.

The southern Laotian province of Champasak is a renowned coffee-growing region, where coffee serves as a vital economic crop for the local population.

We may have heard of Lao coffee, Dao Coffee, so we have to try it.

A Glimpse into the Homes of Southern Laos

We had the opportunity to sit and chat with the women who were cooking in a clean and tidy kitchen with a wood-fired stove. We even helped them slice limes.

The side balcony of the house is made of split bamboo, used for washing dishes. Food scraps fall into the space below, which is a chicken coop.

The house has a gutter to collect rainwater for use.

The back kitchen stairs lead down to a separate bathroom.

The homestay accommodations were similar to Thai houses, with friendly Lao people who spoke slowly in a dialect similar to Isaan. They were kind, attentive to our dietary needs, and eager to please. During my multiple visits to Laos, I have consistently been impressed by the honesty and friendliness of the Lao people, who seem less toxic and more welcoming than others. Next, we will visit the Tad Fane zipline, and that will be the end of our trip.

Before returning, we had one more task: to stop by Tad Fan, which has four zip lines available for 1,500 baht.

The highlight of the zip line is that it passes through a waterfall, 250 meters high. I couldn't handle the height, so I didn't play. I had originally made up my mind to play, but after thinking about it, I decided not to.

The waterfall was a beautiful sight, with two distinct colors. One side was red due to the recent rainfall, which had mixed with the soil, while the other side remained its natural color.

The zipline crosses over the waterfall. It's high, so I wouldn't dare to try it.

I have visited Laos several times and have a deep appreciation for the Lao people. Their kindness and hospitality are truly remarkable. Hiking in Laos is not for the faint of heart, but the rewards are immense. The Tad Fane zipline is a must-do, offering breathtaking views that are well worth the effort. If this review inspires anyone to visit southern Laos, I would be thrilled. It would be a privilege to share my love for this beautiful country with others.

Venturing out, we encounter a world we've never seen before.
The more we travel, the more we realize how small we truly are.
It may sound like a quote from Yaya, but it's how I genuinely feel.

Thank you to the photographers who contributed their beautiful images to this post.
Thank you to the Backpack Travel Group for organizing the trip and allowing me to meet new friends.
Thank you to my new friends and the people of southern Laos whom I met.
Thank you to the weather for allowing me to experience the beautiful surroundings as seen in the photos.

I will definitely visit Southern Laos again. I will also fix it.

If you have any questions or want more information, please feel free to send me a private message.
If I have more free time, I will review Vang Vieng, which I have been to before. It may be similar, but I will review it to make you want to go, haha.
Review the label line. Pack your bags and let's go on a trip.
