🗓️Travel: Arrived in Pakse by private car and then switched to a local vehicle.
Khone Phapheng Waterfall, also known as Tat Khone, is the largest waterfall in Southern Laos within the lower Mekong River basin. It has a very strong current, and the area inside is spacious. The weather is quite hot to extremely hot during the summer. Even though it is near the water, it is very, very, very hot. However, the view is beautiful and magnificent.
Despite being a grand and majestic waterfall with a rushing stream, the name Khone Phapheng has a cute meaning in Thai. 'Khone' means rapids, and 'Phapheng' means 'full moon.' Therefore, Khone Phapheng means 'Full Moon Rapids' or 'Moon Rapids.'
