Kuang Si waterfalls was probably one of the best waterfall and swimming I’ve been to. The crystal clear turquoise water was refreshing on a hot day and the tour guide Mr Pingpong was awesome and knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend
Had a great day with Mr PingPong. He was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and was very friendly and made sure everyone was having a good day
Excellent trip. A lot packed into the one day, but overall a great experience.
