The Buatong Waterfall, also known as the Sticky Waterfall or Chet Si Fountain, is a stunning natural wonder located in the Chiang Mai province of northern Thailand. This captivating waterfall is famous for its unique, limestone-rich formations that allow visitors to climb up the cascade without slipping — a rare phenomenon that gives the waterfall its "sticky" reputation.
This breathtaking photo, captured with a drone to create a 360-degree panorama, offers a bird's-eye view of the waterfall and its lush surroundings. From above, you can see the crystal-clear water cascading over the terraced rocks, creating a series of natural steps that appear almost like a staircase. The intricate pattern of the waterfall’s flow contrasts beautifully with the dense jungle canopy, which encircles the area, adding a rich green backdrop to the scene.
The panoramic view also reveals the surrounding landscape: the rolling hills, misty valleys, and the distant horizon stretching out in all directions. The use of drone technology allows for a sweeping, immersive perspective, showcasing both the beauty of the waterfall and its serene natural environment from angles that are impossible to capture from the ground.
This awe-inspiring image not only highlights the unusual geological features of the Sticky Waterfall but also immerses the viewer in the tranquil, untouched beauty of one of Thailand’s most remarkable natural attractions.
