MOST BEAUTIFUL WATERFALL IN THE WORLD, HANDS DOWN! KUANG SI WATERFALL, LAOS

You have to be careful, the roads are not like in Thailand. My name is Chai. These are our viewers on YouTube. We're right up on Pussey Hill. Hey, Champs, what's happening? Welcome to another episode of Tag Along with Chai. We are in the most northern city of Laos, Lamprabang. And in this series of episodes, I'm trying to show you the beauty of the city and the surrounding areas. Today, we're leaving 30 kilometers south from the city. We rented a little moped and I'm taking you to Khwang Si Waterfalls. It's about an hour drive and we're going to spend a few hours there at the waterfall. We're going to have a food experience. Also, I'd like to finish the episode at Pussey Hill. It's going to be a beautiful viewpoint where we got an incredible view of the city. A must-see when you're visiting Lamprabang. It's going to be an exciting episode. I hope you're excited. Let's go! After leaving the somewhat busy city, we drove through some beautiful landscapes. And now we are 10 minutes away from the waterfall. We are at Phuntsuk Garden. We weren't planning to come to this spot, but we're lucky that we made that turn. We only have a 2-3 minute detour coming to this place. And so far, so good. We ordered a coffee and a little snack. And look how beautiful that is. Ilona has already a little spot over there. A beautiful rice garden. They just make the most of it. They have a restaurant, a cafe. And this beautiful garden. Only a 40-minute drive on a little motorbike. You have to be careful. The roads are not like in Thailand. They're good enough to ride on, but you have to be really careful for puddles. Also, there's sand on the road a lot. And the people driving really fast over here. Also, really good to know, you are driving on the right side of the road here. You have to get used to that coming from Thailand. The way we are traveling is we are planning a little bit ahead, but not too much. And we are doing almost nothing on the day. We're scheduling in only one or two things. And we just go to places that we see on the spot, if it looks nice. And this place is looking incredible with the rice fields. They made it really luxurious as well. I've just been to the toilets and the restaurant is looking good. I'm sure the kitchen is good as well. We've got some deep fried river wheat with some sesame seeds. And I think there's some onion in there. We already had one little bite because it came a little earlier. Delicious. If you like seaweed, it basically tastes the same, right? And if you like deep fried. Oh, yeah, and we do. We call this Kai Pan. And we've got Wap Pan. And this one, we actually don't know what it is. It's deep fried meatball. Pork, I think. Yeah, I'm eating it with hands. So they're like snack size. Wow. Really nice. Oh, I didn't expect this. Which flavors pop out? Dill. Dill, yeah, it's got a lot of dill in it. The dill is popping out. Such a fresh little snack. Yeah. Meaty. Spicy. Fresh. Greasy. I'm not gonna lie, there's a lot of fat in there. And we love it. You're gonna have to check out Poon Sook Garden if you are coming to Lampabang. It's only a half an hour drive, 40 minute drive away from the city. Let's crack on. We are at the entrance of the Guangxi Waterfall Park. We're passing all these food stores, souvenir stores. We're gonna just walk ahead. We are about to do a 10 minute walk. We paid 25 kip. That's like a dollar 60, I believe, something like that. Yeah, we're not the only ones jams, as expected. It's about two o'clock right now and it's very busy. Before we're going to check out the waterfall. Sorry about the sound. I didn't click in my microphone, but we have to say hello to the bears. They scared us. We're like, where are the bears? And then suddenly they pop up. It's feeding time. That's why they all come out. There we are. We can hear the sound of the waterfall already. Apparently, there are three tiers that we can visit or that we can climb to. The world keeps surprising me. Like literally, this is the most beautiful waterfall I've ever seen. Wow. Such a beautiful one. It's not the size that matters. That's what they say, right? This was just a start. Let's climb up and see what this waterfall has to offer. More than this. I don't think we can get any better than what we just witnessed. But we're going to have to explore a little bit more. If you've been following this channel, you know, I'm a big fan of natural stairs. Just walking in nature. And yeah, there was a concrete road or a paved road anyway, going towards this waterfall. And then there is this natural stairs, which make this experience even better, I think. After a five minute climb next to the waterfall, we found a place to rest. We still have to carry on to go to the next tier, I think. But you can have a little peek here at the waterfall moving through the forest. 20 or 120 meters to Kuang Si Waterfall. Andy Lona is taking the lead. Chai is close second. Are you coming with us? Yes, you are. Let's go. Passing a little viewpoint here. Stunning, but we're going to have even a better viewpoint later on at sunset. It would have probably been a lot busier before Covid down at the waterfall. But we're up at the waterfall at the moment and there's literally no one. We've been walking up the stairs, up the natural stairs to come here. And yeah, I highly recommend doing that because it's just a quiet little experience. Get yourself away from the crowd a little bit. This video is filmed in the end of August. It is still rain season. And I expected the water to be brown because there's a lot of water coming from like rainwater adding to this river, bringing all the mud and everything. But it's still turquoise blue. We're the only one here, right? And there's that sign saying that we can catch a boat. Not sure about the beers. We're not really interested in the beers yet. Maybe at sunset or something. I don't know. The sunset is at the temple, so maybe we're not going to be drinking any beers in this episode. But how cool would it be to go on this little boat and be going down for 200 meters up the stream to go to the source of the waterfall? Yeah, is that possible? Yes. What's your name, sir? Tongwan. My name is Chai. These are our viewers on YouTube. And then this is Ilona. Wow. Fantastic. This is such a good surprise. Thank you. Wow. And off we go. We are leaving the waterfall behind to go on this little river cruise. Nah, you cannot make this up. Did not expect you to come along this far with us. This is where all the rivers, the small little streams forming the river and also at the same time forming the waterfall. We're going to see you at sunset at the Puzi hill in a few hours. We're going to drive back. Hopefully you keep tagging along. Let's go. We're at the foot of Puzi hill. We're going to have to walk up the stairs to get a proper view of the city. We are right in the center of Lampabang and we'll be able to see pretty much the whole city from up there. If you make it up here, there is a stupa and a little temple where people can pray. And around that area, there are a lot of tourists. There's a viewpoint there as well. Basically around the stupa here at the back. It's worth to just wait here for a little while because you've got the stunning view as well. Pretty much the same view that you got there. And there's no one here. If you're new to the channel, we are based in the north of Thailand in the city of Chiang Mai. We're showing you the beauty of Southeast Asia and there's a lot of places to visit. So if you want to hop on board, please feel welcome to the channel. We're right up on Puzi hill and we are seeing the Khan River on the backside. Also, this beautiful view of Lampabang. Champ, you're going to have to visit this place if you are in Lampabang. It's a must see. I think everyone basically, yeah, look at these guys. We met them a few days ago on the boat. These are here, they're just popping by. Champ, thank you for watching till the very end. We hope you enjoyed this episode about the waterfall. We are planning to show you a few more episodes about Lampabang and the surrounding places. We're going to do some interviews with some random people on the street as well. We're going to talk to some locals, going to eat some traditional Lao food. I'm hoping you're enjoying the ride with us. I would like to say from Puzi hill in Lampabang in the north of Laos. Bye for now and stay jammed.
