Chet Si Waterfall

Chet Si Waterfall, Bueng Kan: A natural palette to conquer on foot

Speaking of Bueng Kan Province, a border province recently separated from Nong Khai that still retains the peacefulness of riverside communities along the Mekong River, I, mr.hotsia, would like to share the story of Chet Si Waterfall located in Seka District. It is one of the natural landmarks that many may not yet deeply know. Chet Si Waterfall is not just an ordinary waterfall; its charm lies in the sunlight reflecting on the mist, creating a seven-color rainbow as its name suggests. Starting from violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, to red. Seeing this, anyone would want to witness it with their own eyes.

Traveling to Chet Si Waterfall is not as easy as a short forest walk because you have to trek several kilometers from the parking area beside Highway 2013, the route from Phu Thok. I myself have tried to reach the top tier of the waterfall, but due to limited time and not being in peak physical condition, I only made it to the lower tier, which was already beautiful and refreshing enough. I recommend preparing your body and having determination because the top tier of Chet Si Waterfall is a reward for true adventure lovers.

Chet Si Waterfall is located in Phu Wua National Park, an area that remains highly pristine. Walking up the waterfall trail, you will see lush green forest, hear birdsong, and feel the cool mist from the waterfall that energizes me to keep going without giving up easily. I, mr.hotsia, suggest wearing suitable hiking shoes and bringing drinking water to recharge along the way.

Circular Travel Route: Phu Thok - Chet Si Waterfall - Bueng Khong Long

If you have a day or two in Bueng Kan, I recommend trying the circular route I experienced myself, starting fromPhu ThokA temple with steep iron stairs leading to a thrilling viewpoint overlooking the wide Mekong River. Then head south on Highway 2013 until the junction to turn left toward Chet Si Waterfall. Finish by visitingBueng Khong LongWhich offers a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views of the large lake, perfect for resting and taking photos to capture memories before heading back.

History of Chet Si Waterfall and Surrounding Atmosphere

Chet Si Waterfall gets its name from the mist droplets reflecting sunlight at just the right angle to reveal a beautiful seven-color rainbow like a bow across the water. This place is ideal for those seeking peace and the beauty of untouched nature. The surroundings are full of large trees and the refreshing sound of flowing water. I, mr.hotsia, met some tourists who intentionally camped overnight to experience the coolness of the waterfall at night. Although the journey here is tiring, it is well worth the happiness and lasting impressions gained.

For anyone visiting Bueng Kan Province, don’t forget to stop by to enjoy the tranquility of the town and the simple lifestyle of the locals, as well as try local dishes such asBueng Kan Fried OysterorCrispy Pork Basil Stir-Frywhich are so delicious that I, mr.hotsia, must recommend. There is also a morning market selling freshly grilled fish caught from the Mekong River, offering a true taste of Northern Isan freshness.
