The Pha Suam waterfall (tad) boasts a picturesque setting in which its waters tumble from a rocky cirque into a large pool, in front of which a suspended bamboo bridge spans the water below. The site is particularly popular at weekends with villagers from the Bolaven plateau and the inhabitants of Pakse. In the "ethnic village" of Uttayan Bajiang (Bachieng) nearby, local Lao people dressed in typical costume pose for photos.
