Want to swim where you will be able to dive beneath the cascading waterfalls? Then, in South East Asia you can find some of the best natural swimming holes in the world.
So, pack your swimsuits and head off to one of these places:
Taal Lake, Philippines
A freshwater lake on the island of Luzon in the Philippines was created by immense eruptions many years ago. Here stands Taal Lake, home of the merely freshwater sardines in the world and the very uncommon venomous sea snake called ‘Hydrophis semperi’. In close proximity to the centre of the lake is the active Taal Volcano. Swimming in this lake sounds really exciting now, doesn’t it? Venomous sea snakes and active volcanos! But the sulphur from the volcano in the water is supposedly good for your skin. And the view will not disappoint.

Erawan Waterfall, Thailand
Erawan Waterfall is located at Erawan National Park in the Kanchanaburi Province of Thailand and is made up of seven tiers of beautiful falls with a total height of over 1500 meters. Make your way to the top for the view but get ready to take a two-hour hike up. Look at it as the build-up to one of the best swims that you will ever have in your life. However, wear good shoes for hiking; in some areas the trail is missing, slippery or steep. The milky blue pools with mist rising from the gushing water are like something out of a fantasy novel, sans the tour groups of course. Go early to avoid the afternoon sun and post-lunch crowds.

Tat Kuang Si Waterfall, Laos
Tat Kuang Si Waterfall can be found in no other than the beautifully serene Luang Prabang. This waterfall is popular swimming spot, especially during the rainy season due to the stronger water currents. Like Erawan, you should hike to the top for more stunning view. Take some pictures, take a swim, and visit the sun bear sanctuary nearby when you get bored. Avoid going on weekends if you’re not in the mood of swimming with the crowds.
