As with many waterfalls the world over, Tad Sae was formed over eons as coursing water cut its way through the surrounding limestone, forming wonderfully aesthetic cascades and pools.

Located near Luang Prabang, the fall is accessible enough to make it a favorite spot of locals and tourists looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The fall dries to a trickle in the dry season, but during the rainy season, the inviting water is cool and refreshing.

There are plenty of seating areas and chairs from which you’ll be able to relax and watch the fall in perfect harmony.
