In many ways, Chet Sao Noi seems to be a place where the normal laws of nature don’t apply. Oddly gentle emerald waters cascade over long, broad stones that appear to have been smoothed by giants and draped in a deep green-brown moss. Haunting banyans mingle with enticing but deadly pools as bright red leaves scatter on the banks just so. Indeed, the experience of Chet Sao Noi feels like being in a surreal landscape created by some imaginative artist.
