Another wee wizz around the region. 

Why is it that Bali seems to grab all the highlights (such as above), though Philippines (following) should likely have just as many skinny dip opportunities?

#domisajouvasii den 32.Rychle balime, davame vcera narocne vykomunikovanou snidani a vezeme nase batohy moc milemu panovi, kterej nam je odveze do Hoi An. Mavne pro nas dokonce na pani na stanku, at nam udela Ca Phe Sua Da a Tra Da. Ledovy kafe a ledovej caj. Moje Vietnamstina se exponencialne zlepsuje. Dopijeme, loucime se s nasima vecma a doufame, ze je jeste nekdy uvidime. Pan ma o nas trochu strach, prece jen je to asi 130 km. Ale to nevi, ze sme skutr life natrenovaly uz na Bali. Nejhorsi je mestsky provoz, na dalnici uz se jede samo. Trochu je nam jasny, ze budem litovat, ze sme se nenamazaly opalovakem a ze jedinej dlouhej rukav, co mame s sebou, je sustakova bunda. Zastavujem u na mape vyznacenyho mista jmenem Elephant springs a moc nevime, co od toho cekat. Ma to byt koryto reky uprostred narodniho parku Bach Ma. No jsme neprijemne prekvapeny, ze je z toho udelana turisticka atrakce v podobe igelitem ohranicenych bazenku v korytu one reky. S hnusnou sochou slona uprostred jednoho z bazenku. Nechybeji samozrejme vtiravy Vietnamci vnucujici koupaci vesty, nafukovaci kruhy a podobny hovadiny. Domca je otravena a chce jit zpet, ja rikam, ze se pujdu mrknout o kus nahoru a nachazim super skrytou lagunu v korytu reky, kde nikdo neni. Protoze je asi tak tisic stupnu, tak tam rovnou na evicku skacu. Pak se vracim pro otravenou Domcu a dotahnu ji tam. Uz neni tak otravena a skace tam taky. Obcas staci udelat par kroku dal od nejvic turistickych mist k objeveni prave krasy. Okusujou nas mini rybky a malem se zabijem na kluzkych kamenech, ale nelitujem. Osvezeny mirime zpet k silnici, kde davame super obed. Crispy duck a pork ribs primo z grilu. S plnymi zaludky znovu nasedame na skutr a mirime na Hai Van Pass. Jeden z nejkrasnejsich horskych prusmyku na svete, v jehoz nejvyssim bode jsou zbytky vietnamskych valecnych bunkeru. Uz tady citime, jak mame spaleny stehna a ramena. Ale vyhled 10/10. Az na turisty. Ale to by nebyl Vietnam. Jeste pozorujem, jak se na vrcholku nejzachovalejsiho bunkru foti nevesta s zenichem a mizime smer Da Nang. #travel#dnescestujem#czechgirl #vietnam#skinnydipping

Vietnam also seems low on the potential skinny dippers horizon, need not be the case (above, Elephant Springs, Bach Mã NP, Hue). 

Following the lesser touched jungles of the people's republic of Lao, coastal Cambodia (Sihanoukville) while we wind up the traverse of the region back where we started: Bali.

There's as always precious little to add; whenever waterfalls hit the Southeast Asian newsstands it's for all the wrong reasons. I'll lleave that  for the last section.

So let's start with a couple of photo's from the region.

Travelfish.org has some info on Ratanakiri's waterfalls: 

'Waterfalls are dotted about Ratanakiri province. Here are three of the more accessible ones, all best visited by motodop from Banlung'.

A little known Bali waterfall highlighted by the Jakarta Post (May 19):

'Gianyar has many natural attractions, but Kanto Lampo waterfall is the regency’s most recent sensation.
Unlike many of Bali’s other waterfalls, which are mostly located in remote, hilly forests, Kanto Lampo is adjacent to the crowded Banjar Kelod Kangin in Beng village, some 30 kilometers north of Denpasar.
...
The villagers consider the waterfall a sacred place from which they can acquire the holy water used in Dewa Yadnya (ceremonies for the living) and Pitra Yadnya (rituals for the dead). There are several shrines around the waterfall where people pray and present religious offerings'.

Then there's the Tegenungan waterfall (Findheroutthere, March 28) from which the photo below comes from:

More from emiliabroni, this time from Sabah, probably near Poring hot spring:

 Idag har vi vandrat 7km upp- och nedför i djungeln i bara flipflop! Galet värt när vi fick ett underbart vattenfall för oss själva! 😄💦 #nakenbad #vattenfall #tracking #jungletrip #malaysia

Erawan Waterfall, Thailand #thailand #travel #waterfall #wanderlust

Most news from Thailand concerns the drought which has now passed. The Bangkok Post (Mar.2):

'Pang Sida, a waterfall in the national park of the same name, is a popular tourist destination near the Cambodian border, where early effects of the drought have hit particularly hard. (File photos)

The Pang Sida waterfall, a famous tourist destination in Sa Kaeo, has dried up as the eastern province suffers the country's worst drought in recent memory'.
