Waterfalls of Thailand Thailand Waterfalls are abundant throughout this roughly leg-of-lamb-shaped country that spans the steamy beaches and lagoons to the south to its more forested borders to the north, west, and east. Visiting all of these waterfalls is a major feat and we haven't even come close to seeing even a quarter of them! Sprinkled throughout the country are numerous temples containing wats, chedis, and prangs. Many of these contain Buddha statues, and a visit to this country will make you very aware of how much the people here embrace Buddhism. You can't visit the country without taking off your shoes and stepping foot into one of these sacred places. Add to all that some distinctly Thai features like the Thai massage, the fiery spicy Thai food (and we're talking about the real thing here despite what you might've had back at home), and even Muay Thai kickboxing and you have a bon-a-fide tourist destination. There's no shortage of local markets and night markets. There's also pockets of nature where wildlife might still be found like at Khao Yai National Park or the Umphang Wildlife Sanctuary. Even the friendliness and charm of the people best exemplified with their bow-with-hands-in-prayer-configuration gesture accompanied with "Sa Wa Di Kaa/Krap" (Hello) or "Kahp Kuhn Kaa/Krap" (Thank You) is overwhelmingly infectious. But it's the waterfalls that are both diverse and numerous from the shapely and colorful limestone varieties to the plunging cataracts to the terraced stairstepping cascades. Indeed, this country can hold its own when it comes to its misty offerings. And we've only scratched the surface of what can be seen with our limited time and resources. Certainly, this is a major excuse to make a return trip!
