Water Falls

Today I met up with 4 other people that I chatted to on the street, and we shared a tuk tuk to the water falls.
It was suggested in the lonely planet guide book that if you stand on the corner near the chicken baguette sellers you will more than likely meet others wanting to visit the falls and it is cheaper to share the tuk tuk, so, that's what I did.
One couple were from Israel and the other couple were 2 girls from Manchester.

The park is also home to a rescue centre for brown bears.
An Australian lady called Mary Hutton founded it and many others are now in Asia.
The bears have often been kept in captivity and used for their bile which supposedly has medicinal purposes.

So, that was a bonus as we were only an electric fence away from 10 bears, they were great fun to watch, I don't think I have ever seen any so close before.


Just hanging around
This was the first stage of the falls at the bottom
Part way up you could rope swing into the water, or just take photos as I did

This was the largest fall after a 20 min climb
 And this video didn't upload - and I cant delete it
