Description

Sam Phan Bok is located in Ban Pong Pao, Lao Ngam Sub-district, Pho Sai District, Ubon Ratchathani Province, which is approximately 120 kilometres from the city centre of the province. Sam Phan Bok is a large rock islet in the Mae Khong River. During flood season, this islet will submerge under the water. It is eroded by eddy currents, resulting in more than 3,000 (pronounced Sam Phan in Thai) small basins or Bok ("Bok" in the Lao language means "basins"). This is the history of the name "Sam Phan Bok." Owing to a large number of basins, this place is called the "Grand Canyon of Thailand." (Images courtesy of Firoozeh Harrich)
