Located 1.5km downriver from the French bridge on Don Khon, Tat Somphamit – aka Li Phi Falls – is a raging set of rapids. Li Phi means 'spirit trap' and locals believe the falls act as just that – a trap for bad spirits as they wash down the river. Local fishermen risk their skin edging out onto rocks in the violent flow of the cascades to empty bamboo traps, each of which can catch half a tonne of fish a day.
There are plenty of restaurants and concession stands at the falls entrance.
