Thafalang — Attraction in Khammouane

As far as the views, I would have given 4 stars but I felt that place has been around for awhile and can't believe the steps down to the big beautiful bridge where I'm sure lots of visitors use it daily. I'm not sure if the owner tried to keep it as natural to blend in with the mountains surrounding it but I felt it was unsafe to walk down using the concrete blocks that are arranged too far from each other. Hopefully, this will improve in the near future with better steps and railings to hold on for safety. Other than that, it's not easy for disabled people to get around in a wheelchair. It's too bad that this beautiful place hasn't reached its potential for visitors to experience its majestic beauty like some other similar places I've visited.

In addition you'll need to pay for parking space. In my opinion, this place is not worth your time if you're doing the Loop. The cool pool is much better and...

We went today and I really enjoyed the water and the view as well as having a nice cool swim but the floating table we sat at still had food all over the place same as all the rest of them and the place is in disrepair (mats you sit on sticky from spilled drinks, thatch roofs a mess, broken floor boards ect ), a little cleaning and upkeep and it would be a solid...
