Waterfalls
in Thailand
|
Waterfalls
have always been one of the favorite natural attractions for
locals and travelers in Thailand. Surprisingly, the country
boasts hundreds of natural waterfalls in every region of the
kingdom. Whatever part of the country you are visiting, you
will always be able to find a waterfall nearby. Some popular
waterfalls are easily accessible, while others need a little
more effort and determination, usually to climb a steep, often
difficult path, before being rewarded by the unmatched beauty
of the cascades.
Waterfalls
are known locally as 'nam tok.' But the word 'nam tok' in
Thai can also refer to a popular northeastern dish, normally
included in a menu set comprising somtam (papaya salad), grilled
chicken and sticky rice. So be careful when you say 'nam tok;'
make it clear what you are talking about. It really is surprising
that many waterfall attractions all over the country tend
to have local food vendors who sell this traditional northeastern
food in front of the entrance to the falls.
