Buatong's Glittering Embrace

Nestled amidst the lush greenery of northern Thailand, Buatong Waterfall is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. From the moment you arrive, the air is filled with the refreshing scent of nature, and the sound of cascading water creates a symphony of tranquility. The highlight of Buatong Waterfall is its unique limestone formations, which create a natural staircase for visitors to climb. Unlike traditional waterfalls where climbing is forbidden, here, you're encouraged to ascend the mineral-covered rocks, thanks to their rough texture that provides exceptional grip. It's a thrilling experience, offering a sense of adventure while surrounded by the beauty of the jungle.#waterfalls #nature #localguides #historicallandmarks

The mysterious Sticky waterfalls of Thailand

This unique waterfall near Chiang Mai has high-traction rock surfaces that are fun to play on and make for epic photos. Nam Tok Bua Tong aka the Sticky Waterfall, is an incredibly cool place to check out when you’re in Chiang Mai. The water here bubbles up from a natural spring, and it has such high levels of dissolved minerals that it coats the rocks and tree roots it flows over in high-traction limestone. They call it the “Sticky Falls” because the stone has so much grip. It’s a waterfall and it looks like it should be slippery, so your eyes can’t quite believe it when you see people easily walking on the steep rocks. You can climb all over the waterfall here and go wherever you want to go. It’s crazy fun here, and a great place to get some really cool photos. Have to be extra cautious not to slip and get hurt. #trip #Travel #nature #Waterfall #Thailand

Arriving at the Bua Thong 'sticky' Waterfalls, the first thing you notice is that they are quite steep, multi-tiered cascades rather than a huge singular waterfall. They are called ''the sticky waterfalls'' because they are made of limestone and mineral deposits. It gives you a good grip to walk up or down the cascades. There are many ropes to hold on to. I spent two hours pretending I was a super hero and it really enjoyable. It was probably more enjoyable as it was the wet season and because the water flow was strong. In the dry season the water flow tends to be less. To cool off from Chiang Mai's heat, this is a nice day trip. Go as early as possible and avoid the weekends in order to avoid the crowds. Definitely worth doing.
