I didn't know! In Takeo, there is a 1 kilometer long waterfall flowing down a mountain, and 10 years ago it was used as a place to mine precious stones

 

Phok Kirivong Waterfall is a popular tourist attraction in Takeo Province. It is located in Chroy Sleng Village, Kiri Chong Koh Commune, and Trapeang Srang Village, Preah Bat Choan Chum Commune, Kirivong District.

Phok Waterfall is approximately 1,000 meters long and 2 meters wide, flowing from the mountain and cutting through small and large rocks down to the bottom. There are thatched houses for sitting and enjoying, as well as selling cheap food for tourists.

What’s more, before the waterfall became a popular tourist destination, more than 10 years ago, it was a major location where many people came to dig for precious gems. The most abundant gems were amethyst, lapis lazuli, coral, mica, and beryl. However, the gems where people are enjoying the water are now depleted.

So, if you want to enjoy the waterfall falling from the mountain and rich in forests, both small and large, surrounded by rocks, and want to learn about the precious stones at Phok Waterfall, as well as enjoy food, especially Banh Chaew, which is delicious, you can go to Phok Waterfall Resort.
