Kaeng Kut Ku, the legend of Chiang Khan

Kaeng Kut Ku is another place that when you visit Chiang Khan, you must not miss. Whether you are a chill person, a foodie or a shopper, I can tell you that this place is perfect. Legend tells that a long time ago, there was a tall hunter who hunted silver buffaloes from Luang Prabang (Laos). When he arrived at the Mekong River bank, he saw silver buffaloes resting to drink water. The hunter ambush and shoots them, but by chance, a villager was sailing past, causing the silver buffalo to panic and run up a mountain (nowadays, this mountain is called "Phu Kwai Ngern"). The hunter accidentally shot another mountain, causing half of it to collapse, becoming a steep cliff that the villagers call "Phu Pha Baen". The hunter was angry at the villagers who were sailing past, so he harassed them by bringing rocks to block the Mekong River, preventing them from sailing. But before the hunter could succeed, a novice monk happened to see him. The novice monk thought of a trick by having the hunter use a "hia" (a type of bamboo) When split in half, it will be a sharp edge) It is more convenient to carry stones instead. The hunter used a wooden pole to make a pole to carry stones, but the stone was very heavy. The pole broke and cut the hunter's neck, causing him to die curled up on the bank of the Mekong River. Therefore, the rapids are called "Kaeng Kut Ku". Kaeng Kut Ku is actually a large rapids in the middle of the Mekong River. Therefore, the current in that area is fast-flowing and there are many fish living there. Therefore, when visiting Kaeng Kut Ku, you should also know the water level at each time because the atmosphere in each month is different. Come visit us. Book accommodation with Trip.com.
