Kuang Si Waterfall

Kuangsi Waterfall, Laos (29 December, 2005)


Kuang Si Waterfall is a beautiful multi-tiered waterfall located 30 km outside Luang Prabang in Laos. There is a flight of steps which one has to climb to reach a pool half way to the top. From there, you can look down to the pool below. I visited it with a group of AsiaExplorers members when we were Luang Prabang. I see that a lot of local people come to Kuang Si Waterfall for picnicking.

Kuang Si Waterfall is just one of several waterfalls around Luang Prabang, though it is by far the most famous. Another waterfall, Tad Sae Waterfall, is 15 km southeast of Luang Prabang. Tad Sae Waterfall consists of a series of cascading steps. Another waterfall is the less visited Tad Khua Waterfall, near the village of Pakleung.

The steps leading to the middle tier of Kuang Si Waterfall was quite slippery, and it was tough for me to climb, especially when holding a big tripod, and with a heavy rucksack full of camera gear.

We took about an hour to reach Kuang Si Waterfall. We stayed there long enough to have our lunch at the nearby eatery near the waterfalls, when we were done it. After that, we visited a menagerie where there are bears and a resident tiger. On the way back, we stopped at Wat Onn, a small Laotion Buddhist temple.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
