Tad Mok Waterfall

ຕາດໝອກ

A multi-tiered waterfall hidden in the forest between Muang Ngoi and Nong Khiaw. You reach it by trekking through villages and jungle, and few tourists make the journey.

Tad Mok Waterfall sits in a valley on the east bank of the Ou River. The route passes rice fields, bamboo groves and small villages, but it isn't obvious, so you'll usually need a guide from Muang Ngoi or Nong Khiaw. It can also be a stop on a hike between the two towns, or a place to go ashore during a boat trip. The waterfall cascades down several tiers into cool pools, and you can swim here in the dry season. Along the way you'll need to wade through streams, and in the rainy season there are leeches, so wear long socks and non-slip shoes.
