Massive Waterfall near Siem Reap


These are our pictures from our trip to the waterfall at Phnom Kulen . It was good long drive (nearly 2 hours) from Siem Reap but we thought it was defiantly worth it. It was fantastic to see such a big waterfall in such a flat country. We also got to swim in the plunge pool at the bottom which was deliciously cool on the hot humid day. But the water was full of fish that bite you. Tacking off dead skin like the ones in tanks for your feet. These ones are bigger more vicious and will bite anything they think might come off. Gareth had an unfortunate incident involving a fish and a nipple, but no permanent damage was done. Michelle was clever and just kept swimming, avoiding being bitten.

Michelle under the full force of the water, it was powerful!

It was a very good day

  1. ow!!! it looks like a great waterfall and plunge pool, not so sure about the fish, did they swarm on you like the ones in the shop? does your skin feel fantastic now or very sore?

    love to you both Mum and Dad xx

  2. Hey Mum and Dad

    They didn't swarm when you got in, they snuck up in ones and twos when you least expected it. It did help with some dry/dead skin and its not sore. Apart from when fish bite at my insect bites that stung a bit.
