Tadlo is a small town in an area of Southern Laos called the Boleaven Plateau where Laos' famous coffee is grown. A river runs through the town and due to the drops in altitude there are 3 waterfalls.
We spent a couple of days here walking, relaxing and playing around the falls with the local kids. A group of young girls were jumping into these naturally formed holes in the rock and trying to persuade me to do the same, when i demonstrated that i could barely squeeze in it brought fits of laughter as they ran off to show their mum what the crazy 'falang' (foreigner) was doing!
At 1pm every day a dam further up the river is opened to release more water down stream, suddenly the waterfalls become a lot more powerful and, if like me, you're sitting in the middle of it, climbing down suddenly becomes a little trickier!
