[...]A trail ascends through the forest along the left side of the falls to a second tier that is more private (most visitors stay below) and has a pool large enough for swimming and splashing around. A cave behind the falls here goes back 10m. References: [3539]: Brouquisse, F. & Mouret, C. 1997: Expéditions spéléologiques au Laos, 1991-1996. In: Mouret, C., Brouquisse, F. & Vacquié, J.F.
