Trip to cross border into Cambodia ends up at awesome waterfall instead.
The day after this little trip: https://teakdoor.com/thailands-travel...ra-viharn.html my cousin and I decided to go to a little known border crossing into cambodia. I can't quite remember if we were still in the province of Ubon Ratchatnani or if we actually crossed over into Si Sa ket (I think we may have)
So we set off in a 4wd that we had borrowed a few weeks before in Bangkok.

On the way my cousin said she needed a buffalo photo to take home with here so we sorted that out.

It would seem that the government is trying to promote this border crossing as we have no problem finding it what with all the large new signs plus the brand new sealed road for the last 7 kms.
Of course, the bloody thing was closed :(

So then we decided to check out a waterfall that we had seen a sign for. I showed the photos to my wife and she reckons it is called lum duan or something. I reckon it is called something else but I just can't remember!
Once again we were hit up for 400 baht each but this time I spun them a crap story that I worked in bangkok. I don't think they really believed me but they ended up letting us in for half price.
The waterfall is awesome. You can walk all the way down to the base if you like but you need to be accompanied by a ranger at all times.
My cousin went down with a ranger and you should have seen the look on his face when they walked back up. My cousin is a farmer in Australia and is fit as a mallee bull and there is no way that I would give her an arm wrestle! I overheard in between him puffing his guts up something about the farang girl being really strong!
Anyway, enough of me gibbering on, here is the waterfall!
