Kuang Si Falls Outside Of Luang Prabang

---

All the tuk tuk drivers ask, "Waterfalls?... Caves?" as you pass by durin the day. At night it is, "Tuk Tuk?... Smoke?(pot)... Opium?... Lady?..." I found it really funny that it was always in that same order. Call me old fashioned, but I think the prostitute offer should precede the opium offer. That's just how I was raised.




Anyway, we went out to the Kuang Si Falls waterfall and swimming holes 30 minutes outside Luang Prabang. The Asiatic Black Bear sanctuary on the same grounds was a nice bonus. The term "waterfall" can be used pretty loosely,so its always a gamble, but this place was really gorgeous. One 180ft tall, gushing waterfall and several pools that cascaded in to the next. They were this amazing turquoise (god or pollution one cannot be sure). The rope swing was a lot of fun, but the water was freezing cold.
