1. Tad Champee
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
Tad Champi is one of the lesser known waterfalls along the route from Pakse to Paksong, but is a lovely, tranquil place to go for a swim and enjoy the surrounding nature. To find Tad Champi, turn off the road 16E at 38km, opposite of the entrance to Tad Fane. From there it's another 1.8km on dirt roads until the paid parking. There are also some vendors selling refreshing drinks.

- The road from Highway 16E to the falls is relatively difficult, a red dirt road with many gravel and holes, nearly 2 km long. - Tickets 10,000 Kip / person and 5,000 Kip / motorbike. - There is a restaurant - cafe right on the right path to the waterfall. - The entrance to the waterfall is still being completed and upgraded. - The waterfall is very beautiful and wonderful, the water is cold like ice. The area around the waterfall is very clean and free of rubbish. There are tents and wooden steps to rest. There is a wooden raft very suitable for "virtual living".

The Tayicsuea Guesthouse is on what is normally considered, the “big loop trip.” Getting there is not so difficult in the dry season but the 12 km of dirt road to negotiate could be problematic in the rainy season. The people at Noy’s Motorbike Rentals in Pakse recommend not going in the rainy season. If you have time to do the Big Loop then definitely go here as it is probably the single best thing to see and do on the BOLAVEN PLATEAU. The guesthouse, although a bit expensive, is in a beautiful natural setting. The restaurant overlooks thick jungle and there is a stream with small waterfalls directly below. The waterfall trail they have set up is unrivaled in terms of a jungle hiking and waterfall sightseeing experience. I think it even surpasses the waterfalls around the Tad Fane area. Having already visited the Tad Champee, Tad Yuang, and Tad Fane on two previous occasions I decided to do the Big Loop in reverse. Instead of heading to Tad Lo, I rode directly to Tad Tayicsuea, a distance of 94 km from Pakse, and spent two nights at the Tayicsuea Guesthouse. I’m certainly glad I did because I allowed myself enough time to visit all the waterfalls in on the trail (including the big one that can be seen from the viewing platform). By doing the Big Loop in reverse I was able to ride down off the plateau to Sekong, on day three, in bright morning sunlight – as opposed to riding up the steep incline in the afternoon. The views of the remote, rugged terrain on the backside of the plateau are truly spectacular in the morning sunlight. I left Tayicsuea at 9 AM and after a slow ride, arrived in Tad Lo at 5 PM.

The impressive twin 120m waterfalls are located in the Dong Hua Sao National Park on the Bolaven Plateau. Many stop at the nearby Tad Fane resort to take photos and enjoy the view, but there are also treks available in the area that will bring you closer to the falls. Turn off the Road 16e at Km 38 from Pakse in the direction to Paksong.

We shared a tuk tuk with someone to visit some of the Bolaven plateau from Miss Noys bike shop. This was the highest of the 3 waterfalls we visited and it really is a sight to behold. We actually zip lined over the top of it for about 35 euro which was well worth it. The height is 230 metres and the length of zipline is 470 metres. Places for food and toilets close by also. Would definitely go back.
5. Birds and flower Cafe
"Birds and flower Cafe in Paksong" is a facility that you can play with birds. Place is 4 kilometers from the center of Paksong towards Attapu. Drink self-roasted Paksong coffee. If you pay 25000 kip entrance fee, you can meet many birds at the bird's facility. You can also play with other rare birds and rabbits.
