18 reviewed
Thirty kilometres south of town the water drops through limestone into pools the colour of bottle glass, and the trip you pick decides how much of the day you spend queuing behind a minibus. Here are the best Kuang Si Falls day trips: which leave early enough for a quiet top tier, which include the bear sanctuary at the gate, which add a village or a sunset boat, and what each seat costs.
