Kho Luang Waterfall ‘Hello, cool weather. Goodbye, hot weather.’
If hot weather bothers you so much, then let’s move to a cool waterfall like ‘Kho Luang Waterfall’.
Kho Luang Waterfall is located within the area of Mae Ping National Park. It’s about 20 metres high. There are total 7 levels of it.
The waterfall looks so beautiful. Just imagine the water flows down from the high cliff to the pond below. The water also appears in green-blue color, just like a piece of emerald, as the pond below is surrounded with limestone and stalactites. You will want to be nearby, inhale the sweet smell of the water and take a lot of photos. But be careful. Don’t enjoy your selfie too much that you fall into the water.
Moreover, you may have a little picnic on the shore. In fact, this will be best. You may prefer eating in the middle of natural atmosphere to eating in an ordinary dining room. Just get some simple food ready, for examples, bread, butter, sandwich, fries, etc. Then you put your mat on the floor and start eating. It will be happy, believe it.
After eating, you may stimulate your digestion by exploring the nearby woodland. The scene is so beautiful like in some kind of foreign movies.
