Sam Phan Bok, Thailand's Grand Canyon

#WinterTravel Sam Phan Bok, Thailand's Grand Canyon "Sam Phan Bok" does not mean that there are three thousand people waving their hands, but it means "wave". In Lao language, it means "basin". "Sam Phan Bok" therefore means three thousand holes or rock grooves. It is a group of sandstone that has been exposed to natural water flow for thousands of years until it has formed rock grooves of different sizes and widths of tens of meters, becoming countless beautiful and unusual basins scattered on the surface of the stone field along the Mekong River on both the Thai and Lao sides, covering a distance of more than 5 kilometers. Wow, will you be able to walk all of them? Let's test your courage. 📍World-class check-in points of the Sam Phan Bok Grand Canyon 1. "Dog Head Rock" It depends on the eyes of each person. Let's just say that you have to find it. 2. Another popular spot is "Emerald Pool", a large pool. Or locals call it "Bung Nam Sai", with beautiful emerald green water. 3. The cute and adorable waving parts are "star-shaped waving", "heart-shaped waving" and "Mickey Mouse-shaped waving". In addition, there are many different shapes, depending on the eyes and imagination of the visitors. ✔️A little advice is that the best time to visit Sam Phan Bok is when the water dries up, around November-June only. If you are going to visit, do not go in the wrong season, because if you go in the wrong season, you will only see waving in the water. And the best time to visit is during the winter, January to early February. You should go in the morning from sunrise until around 10:00 a.m. or in the evening from 3:00 p.m. until sunset. It is not hot and the light is beautiful like a studio shot. ❗ Be careful, the path is quite dangerous. It is easy to fall or trip. Please wear non-slip shoes and walk carefully. 📞For more information about Sam Phan Bok, please contact the Song Kon Subdistrict Administrative Organization, Pho Sai District.
