- Bua Thong Waterfalls (Nam Phu Chet Si) - Nam Tok Bua Tong (น้ําตกบัวตอง), also known as the Sticky Waterfall, is a fascinating spot to visit in Chiang Mai. The water emerges from a natural spring, rich in dissolved minerals that coat the rocks and tree roots with high-traction limestone. This unique feature gives it the name “Sticky Falls” because the stone provides excellent grip. Despite its appearance, the waterfall isn’t slippery, and it’s astonishing to see people easily walking on the steep rocks. You can explore and climb all over the waterfall freely.

The Sticky Waterfall, also known as Bua Tong Waterfall, is a unique natural wonder located near Chiang Mai in Thailand. What makes this waterfall special is that the rocks surrounding it are unusually grippy or sticky, hence the name.
Unlike regular waterfalls where the rocks can be slippery due to algae or moss, the rocks at the Sticky Waterfall have a porous texture that creates friction, allowing visitors to climb up and down them easily. It’s almost like climbing a giant natural staircase made of limestone.
The reason behind the “stickiness” of the rocks is due to the deposition of calcium carbonate and mineral deposits over time. These minerals create a surface that feels rough to the touch, similar to sandpaper, which provides excellent traction even when wet.
Visitors can enjoy a unique climbing experience at the Sticky Waterfall, where they can ascend the cascading tiers of the waterfall and swim in the natural pools formed by the flowing water.
