Khun Kon Waterfalls
Sitting fully submerged in the stream below Khun Kon waterfall.
Slipping down the cool rapids.
Watching my puppy swim for the first time.
Barbecued chicken, the shade, drifting off to sleep.
If you want to relax, take a picnic lunch to Khun Kon waterfalls.
You can walk the one kilometer to the waterfall if you want, but only a 100 metres or so will do for a picnic lunch. We always drive our motorcycle there. It's not Here's the description of the place from one of the best online travel guidebooks in Thailand put together by high school students with a every innovative teacher:
"The Nam Khun Kon Forest Park can be reached by taking Highway #1211 from town. After 18 kilometres turn right and proceed on for another 12 kilometres. Or go along Highway No. 1 ( Chiang Rai-Phayao ) for about 15 kilometres where there is a right turn to proceed further another 17 kilometres, then a 30-minute walk to the waterfall. The highest and most scenic waterfall in Chiang Rai, the Khun Kon is some 70 metes high. Along the route to the site are cool, shady natural surroundings eminently suitable for relaxation and nature walking."
