Tad Fane Waterfall: A Thrilling Zipline Adventure in Laos

"Tad Fane," the tallest waterfall in Laos, has always held a special place in my heart. While my previous visit left me feeling indifferent due to the lack of activities, a recent Facebook post sparked my curiosity.

The post announced the opening of a zipline at Tad Fane, a feat that seemed impossible given the waterfall's immense height. This news ignited a burning desire within me to experience this thrilling adventure.

Two months passed, and my hopes remained unfulfilled. However, fate intervened when I had to cancel a planned zipline trip to Tad Khammoune in Bolaven Plateau. This unexpected turn of events presented the perfect opportunity to finally conquer Tad Fane.

With only two days' notice, I embarked on this spontaneous adventure with a fellow thrill-seeker. Despite the short preparation time, we were undeterred, knowing the way from my previous visit.

For those unfamiliar with Tad Fane, it's located in Champasak Province, Pakse, Laos. To reach this majestic waterfall, you'll need to travel to Ubon Ratchathani in Thailand. Various transportation options are available, including flights, trains, and buses.

Once in Ubon Ratchathani, head to the Ubon Ratchathani Bus Terminal to catch a van to Chong Mek, the border crossing between Thailand and Laos. The van ride costs 100 baht and takes approximately one hour.

Upon arrival at Chong Mek, you'll need to cross the border into Laos. From there, you can arrange transportation to Tad Fane. The journey from Pakse to Tad Fane takes about 3-4 hours by car.

Prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience as you soar through the air on the Tad Fane zipline, enjoying breathtaking views of the cascading waterfall and lush surroundings.

This thrilling adventure is not for the faint of heart, but for those seeking an adrenaline rush and a unique perspective of Tad Fane's grandeur, it's an experience you won't soon forget.

Upon arrival at the checkpoint, complete the arrival and departure forms, pass through Thai immigration, and cross over to the Lao side.

On the Lao side, you will find a bank on your left. If you need to exchange currency, you can do so here.

The exchange rate on the day I visited was 248 kip = 1 baht.

Next, you need to pay the border crossing fee of 100 baht at the building on your right.

Walk to the back of the building. Arrivals are processed at the back, while departures are processed at the front.

After paying and getting your passport stamped, you need to take a van to Pakse city.

You can also take a motorbike taxi for 20 baht (Thai currency is accepted). The distance to the van station is about 1 kilometer.

Last year, when I went, the market wasn't here yet. Now they have a new market, so it's further away.

If you prefer to walk, you can. It's not too far.

The van will drop you off at theดาวเรือง market in Pakse city.

If you need to find a hotel or rent a car, you'll need to take another ride.

Alternatively, you can ask the van to take you directly to your destination for 40 baht per person, which is the same price as taking another ride.

I chose to get off at a motorbike rental shop first, as I planned to drive around and find a hotel with a beautiful view by the river.

If you prefer, you can book your accommodation through Agoda. There are many options available at affordable prices, ranging from 400 to 500 baht per night.

I chose to stay at the Pakse Mekong Hotel, which costs 800 baht or 200,000 kip per night.

The reason I chose this hotel is because of its beautiful view of the Mekong River.

View from the room.

Accommodation and motorbike secured, let's take a quick look at the map of Pakse city.

This afternoon, we are free, so we decided to go to Wat Phu Champasak, which is about 42 kilometers away. We'll take it easy. 55+

The scenery along the way to Wat Phu Champasak was breathtaking, with intermittent rain showers adding to the beauty. The rain in Pakse was peculiar, resembling the continuous downpours we experience at home. However, in Pakse, the rain only lasted for 5-10 minutes before disappearing. The journey offered stunning views, making it a memorable experience.

Visiting Pakse during the rainy season is a great way to experience the lush greenery of the area. The scenery is truly breathtaking.

The sky after the rain is incredibly beautiful.

After a short drive, we arrived at the temple. The parking fee was 5,000 kip, and the entrance fee was 50,000 kip per person, which is about 200 baht.

This is my second visit to Wat Phu Champasak, but I think it's even more beautiful this time because it's so green and lush. It's really stunning.

Please provide the sentence or phrase you would like me to translate from Thai to English.

After exploring the area, it was time to head back. I aimed to return in time to catch the sunset at Wat Phu Salao, but unfortunately, I didn't make it.

On the bright side, I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the way back before the sun set.


After exploring Pakse and arriving at our destination, let's discover how to reach the Tad Fane Zipline.

As you can see from the map, most of the waterfalls are located near Tad Fane.

Except for Tad Pha Suam, which is a bit further away, but still accessible.

On this trip, I visited Tad Pha Suam first, then Tad Etu, and finally went ziplining at Tad Fane.

I didn't have time to visit Tad Yeung or Tad Tham Champi, as it got dark too early.


As usual, I traveled by motorbike.

It's a budget-friendly option, but it can be quite tiring. If you're not comfortable with motorbikes, you can always hire a car from Pakse.

There are small shared taxis available, similar to tuk-tuks but larger and able to accommodate 6-8 people.

If you're traveling with a group, hiring a car can be a time-saving and comfortable option.

This photo is from the internet. Thank you to the owner of the photo.

I'm not sure about the price, but I estimate it to be around 1500-2000 baht per day. If you go with 6 people, it would be around 300 baht per person.

I think it's a good deal because motorbike rentals are around 50,000 kip or 200 baht per day.

If you want to rent a car, you can do that too. I wish I had known about this before my trip.

You can contact them through the information below, but it's recommended to book at least 1 week in advance.

The car prices are as follows:


We're off on our journey now that we have our vehicle! Yay! Our first stop today is Tad Pha Suam Waterfall, which costs 12,500 kip (about $50) per person to enter.

This is a beautiful animation created using Plotagraph software.



Another beautiful angle of the wooden bridge over the waterfall.

After visiting Tad Pha Suam, continue to Tad Etu, located on the left-hand side before reaching Tad Fane.

Drive for a while from Tad Pha Suam, and you will see a sign on the left-hand side.

This is also a resort. Upon arrival, you only need to pay a parking fee of 5,000 kip (approximately 20 baht).

If you walk down, you will find a waterfall.

If you walk to the left, there is a path that leads down to the bottom of the waterfall. The day I went, there was a lot of water, so I could only take pictures of the water spray. 55+

This is another waterfall that I think is magnificent. There are actually paths leading down to the 2nd and 3rd levels, but they are broken.

There was so much oil that I couldn't go down.

No worries, the next destination is the highlight of this trip. We're going to zipline at Tad Fane! Yay!



And here we are, at the highlight of our trip:


"Zipline Tad Fane"


It's not far from Tad Etu. Just a short drive and you'll see the entrance sign.


Walk approximately 400-500 meters to reach the resort, similar to Tad E Tu.

The entrance fee is 12,500 baht per person.

We then walked inside and immediately encountered the Tad Fan waterfall.

The ticket booth for the Zipline is located on the right-hand side. Please proceed in this direction.

I can see people playing Zipline in the distance. I'm starting to get excited and a little nervous. I'm here now! 55+

Let's go buy tickets. The current price during the promotion is 1,400 baht. You can pay in Thai baht.

There will be a total of 4 bases. The first base is 450 meters, the second and third bases are around 100-150 meters, and the fourth base is around 300 meters.

After buying the tickets, you have to wear a safety suit like this.

After completing the course, participants will be required to undergo a practical assessment of their braking skills using the provided equipment.

A designated short and compact testing area will be available for this purpose.

After practicing, we gained confidence and were ready for the real thing. 55+

We walked down to the front, and it was time for the excitement to begin. 55+

Standing at the starting point, I must admit, I started to feel nervous because it was so high and there was only one sling.

Would I survive? I weigh 90 kilograms, but I saw on other shows that two people could sit on a coffee table in the middle of the sling.

Okay, let's relax. We've come this far, so let's do it. 55+

Now, let's see the live atmosphere in a video. Let's go! 55+

The entrance fee is 12,500 kip per person, which applies to all waterfalls. 55+

The water level was very high when we visited, unlike the previous time when I could sit close to the waterfall.


This time, just walking around for a bit got me soaked to my underwear. 55+ Let's take a look. The water level is very high, and this season is spectacular.

A breathtaking view from above, showcasing the path leading to the must-see waterfall.

However, on the day we went, I can tell you that anyone who walks down there during this high water period will definitely get wet.

Even though we only walked down for a short time, we were soaked as if we had been swimming.

I could only take a few photos because the water spray was so strong.

We initially planned to enjoy our papaya salad and grilled chicken at the pavilion, but the heavy rain forced us to eat upstairs instead.

After finishing our meal around 5 pm, we inquired with local vendors about the possibility of visiting another waterfall.

They advised against it due to time constraints and poor road conditions. Consequently, we decided to forgo the Tad Champee waterfall.

As we made our way back, the sunlight suggested that we might catch the sunset at Wat Phu Salao. We accelerated our return journey.

Fortunately, we arrived just in time to witness the breathtaking sunset over the Mekong River bridge in Pakse.

A breathtaking sunset view at Wat Phu Salao. Don't miss this stunning location if you're in the area!

Bidding farewell with the twilight atmosphere at Phu Salao Temple. It's time to head back tomorrow.

This trip was amazing! It was an incredible experience to zipline at one of the highest points in ASEAN.

I will definitely be back for another adventure. See you on the next trip!


Have a good time.
