Thafalang Wang Si Kram
Thafalang Wang Si Kram | Khammouane Province, Thakhek, Lao PDR 🇱🇦
🌲 Thafalang Wang Si Kram offers a natural atmosphere surrounded by mountains. It takes just over an hour to cross from Nakhon Phanom. You can either stay overnight or make a day trip.
🚌 When we visited, we opted for a day trip. We took a bus from Nakhon Phanom to Laos and then hired a van to Thakhek checkpoint. After that, we had lunch, swam, and took some relaxing photos.
🌲 The water is very clear and refreshingly cool, you can see the fish swimming. You can swim or kayak, and there are rafts for dining by the water. Nearby, you can visit Nang Aen Cave and enjoy ziplining.
🏖️ Environment/Facilities: Easy to walk around, just 1 hour from Nakhon Phanom.
