Tad Sae Waterfall
ຕາດແສ້
A multi-tiered travertine waterfall southeast of town. Reaching it requires a small boat, the pools are shallow, and it is good for splashing with children.
Tad Sae Waterfall lies about 15 km from the old town. Like Kuang Si Falls, it is a stepped travertine waterfall, but its drops are lower and it has more tiers. The shallow pools between the falls are good for wading, and there is a jungle zip-line activity nearby. To get there, first take a vehicle to the Ban Aen landing, then cross the river by small boat, a ride of a few minutes. Entry costs about 20,000 to 30,000 kip, and the boat fare is extra. The falls are most impressive at the end of the rainy season and often dry up in late dry season, so check water levels before you go. Consider visiting Tad Sae and Kuang Si on different days.
Opening hours
About 08:00–17:30
