Kuang Si Waterfall

Kuang Si Waterfall is one of the major tourist destinations near Luang Prabang. I spent the afternoon swimming in the beautiful travertine dams and hiking up to the top of the waterfall. Abbot Sipaeng from one of the local temples went with two other volunteer English teachers and I. It was an amazing afternoon.

This is my favorite photo from the day.


Its so neat to see a 22 year old abbot as a normal person in addition to a venerable monk. This stoic photo, while one of my favorites, does not do justice to Sipaeng's personality. He really is something of a comedian.
