Tadxon waterfall, Vientiane


Another good place to visit slightly out of Vientiance is the Tadxon waterfall, about 40 minutes drive from the centre.

While it is called a waterfall, we could not visit it currently as there was construction work being carrying out.








It seemed that the authority would be making this site a recreational place for Laos people.  Many huts were built for families and friends to gather and have a feast.











You can order food and drinks from the restaurant and the staff would deliver them to the hut.   The food was delicious.












While you were having a meal, the elephants would come and visit you.  You could feed them.  A gift (such as a bottle of beer) to the caretaker would be appreciated but not compulsory.











You could also take an elephant ride.

Tadxon waterfall is a good place to spend an afternoon but only if you have ample days in Vientiane.
