Tips
for Tourists : Guidelines
on Visiting Waterfalls |
 |
| Waterfalls are numerous in Thailand
both in and outside the scores of national parks and botanical
parks. When visiting one of these scenic spots, always
bear in mind its potential dangers to your safety and
that of your companions. Here are some guidelines to avoid
tragedy: • Stay at least a body's length from the water's
edge: wet rocks are slippery.
• Water currents can be very strong underneath even
where the surface looks calm.
• Follow your guide or native tourists who know better.
• In the rainy season, water can rise quickly stranding
you on rocks or even sweeping you away.
• In case you are caught in a strong current, keep calm.
Float on your back with toes up and pointing downstream.
Don't attempt to swim until you reach calmer water.
• If you should fall into the stream, be careful when
you try to raise your arm to signal for help. This may
cause your feet to go down and get snagged on rocks.
