Waterfall photos from Issan

  Here are some photos of the waterfall we went to this weekend. Nice restrooms are always a bonus.At Picnic tables are an unusual sight in Thailand. The equinox/Easter/new year is also celebrated in Asia... as you can see it is a busy weekend. I have no idea what this says. The walkway down to the river. Interesting trees. A convenience store and a coffee shop within the park. Everything you need for a trip to the river is for sale at the river. We ordered some of this chicken. We also ordered some of this papaya salad. Here is the waterfall... I had a nice swim down there.
