Things to see and do Sekong

These waterfalls, also called Tad Faed, are easily accessible from Sekong. They are located just after the Tad Hua Khon Falls. To get there, take road 11 south and turn off at km 14 (a sign indicates the falls: 2 km away). The falls are 5 m high and have their source in the Se Nam Noi River, not far from the Sekong River. It is strongly advised against swimming in the natural pools at the foot of the waterfalls. Small restaurants, open until 5pm, offer drinks and meals.

These beautiful 7 m high (and 100 m wide) falls are also called Tad Se Noy. Tad Hua Khon means "falls of human heads" because during the war, the Japanese threw the heads of Lao resistance fighters into the falls and beheaded them. Laotians now come there at weekends to picnic and bathe. The water is sometimes up to 10 meters deep, ideal for good swimmers, a little less for others... To get there, take road 16 to km 16 and cross the bridge... The waterfalls are close by.
