Home away from Home
After our visit to Lipi Waterfalls, we decided to go to Veunkham for dolphins watching. We found out that we have to rent two separate boats for all of us and it was quite expensive for the local standard. There is not guaranteed that we will see the dolphins. I told my parents it would be best if we would just go to khone phapheng and not waste our time and money waiting for the dolphins to show up.
Veunkham
My parents agreed with me and we continued our journey to khone phapheng. I was so happy to be there again. Since we got there late in the afternoon we were able to watch the sunset at its early stage. We later ate an early dinner there before heading home. By the time we finished with our meal, we were the last group to leave the ground. All the gift shops were closing and all the restaurants were shutting down as well.
Khone Phapheng
Since I have never seen thon manikhod, the sacred tree before I asked if we could go see the legendary tree. As I was walking toward the trees I saw what I thought were beautiful white flowers. By the time I got close to the river I realized what I saw were not flowers but some sort of white birds taking a refuge for the night. It was such a stunning view to see and I felt goosebumps and chills all over my body.

Could you please tell me whether or not the Khone Waterfalls are visible from Cambodia or is one obliged to enter into Laos? Thanks.

Hi Kent Good,
You have to enter Laos and travel for some distance to see Khone Phapheng falls. It’s worth the trip and there are many more beautiful places to see while you are there.
