Amazing scenery and superb views. Be careful because there are some steep trails and the trails can be slippery after rain.

What you are looking at is actually the river bed of Mae Khong river, which fills in the month September. When the river withdraws the rock structures (Sam Phan bok = 3000 holes) become visible that have been formed already 110.000.000 years ago. It is a fascinating landscape and of course people see all sorts of significance in the shapes, meaning a Mickey Mouse hole, a heart, the number 800, the Grand Canyon etc. See what you want to see and enjoy he unusual shapes. There is no entrance fee. Although it is walkable I would recommend taking a pick-up (200 baht for the whole car) and we were joined by a sweet 7-year old (!) guide who gave a very good explanation, albeit only in Thai. You can tip whatever you like, we gave 100 baht which was probably over-generous, but it is lovely to see this young enterprise.
