It is Thailand’s most peerless location, one: a traveller must never miss out on. Also known as the Sticky Waterfalls, this location is just about an hour and a half away towards the north from the old city of Chiang Mai. This place located far from the city makes an ideal location for locals to spend a relaxing and calming weekend at. Bua Tong is a scenic waterfall made from deposits of limestone and various other minerals. The waterfall also derives its nickname ‘sticky waterfall’ as the limestone generate plenty of friction to prevent you from slipping over the watery rocks. This makes it an easy task to climb to the top of the waterfall with the support of ropes.
The rocks that the Bua Tong waterfall is made up of look like giant bubbles on top of one another. Though these rocks might look like a hard sponge, they can be a little hard on the feet. However, that does not make the trek up the water any difficult and you can still easily climb up the cascading water. This waterfall is surrounded by a lush green landscape that makes the location very soothing and pleasant. On an average hot and humid day, the water is pleasing and cool. At the entrance of the waterfall, there is a nice picnic spot and a few restaurants. Although the Bua Tong Stick Waterfall is not very commonly known amongst tourists, you cannot afford to miss visiting this remarkably fabulous location when on a trip to Thailand.
