Reviews
Very very beautiful place. you can shower under the strong waterfall... this is a good massage)))) but try do not lost your swimming suite))))
We visited here in march 2015.The road to waterfalls is dusty so make sure the clothes you wear are not your favorite!During the whole time we were there, no other turists, just locals having a picnic and swimming. They don't care about keeping the place clean so it's full of trashes. So sadThe waterfalls itself was nice but not amazing. So If you have only a few days in snooky don't bother.
Kbal Chhay is still a locals relaxation place and that's great! Unlike the beaches this place is not 'tainted' by Western influences, or better said, spoiled to please western tourists. No annoying loud music and 'booze cruisers'. The water is cool and clear. during the rainy season the waterfall is amazing, but turns into a insignificant drizzle during the dry season. usally it is peacefull and quite, but during celebration days it can be packed with pick-nicking locals enjoying the water. food and drinks are available for reasonable pricing.
$1 entry. The falls are beautiful and very nice for photos. You can see many locals playing in the water which is a neat cultural experience. There are local food vendors at the entrance with cheap delicious food.
