Now Larry,
You should know better than any the true where-abouts of pots of gold!
Each indivdual leprechan hides his pot of gold where he pleases!
I can however tell you the where abouts of one pot.
Next time it rains, and I mean really pours, wait until this weather has ceased to shed its life bringing load on mother earth. Then, When this has occurred look to the skies for a wonderous arch of multilayered light. Follow this light source until you meet its end.
Here where light meet earth, you shall find a pot of gold.
But beware you may be at the wrong end! And no-one likes that!
Larry
I have a question please; Where do leprechauns hide their pots of gold?

R.e. Pad Sae Waterfall: The answer to the Tree Question, Posted By Jez.
Firstly thankyou for your interest! Answer follows.
Pad Sae water cascades down through several pools before flowing into the Khan River
The site of the waterfall is based upon an site of ancient tectonic upheaval, this is apparaent when one observes the sedimentary layers of limestone that have in the past captured fallen down trees and fossilised them. Thusly the site of Pad sae (or Tad Sae, dependent upon translation) was once at the bottom of a lake.
With tectonic activity the surrounding valley was formed! through time the froest formed over the site and of course the surrounding forest. Thousands of years and different stratified and sedimentary rock would cause the path of this tributary to constantly change (as we all know the path of a river never runs smooth).
Thus the trees had thousands of years to establish themselves in the rich alluvial soils, they managed to gain a firm grip on the bed rock of limestone by interweaving their roots throughout the many weathered and eroded holes in the rock.
The rivers course is now a permanent feature as the bedrock has been eroded into a perfect channel, and as long as man does not tamper with its course, it will remain this way until the next tectonic upheaval! Due to the seasonal weather of Laos, the tributary is very small during the wet season allowing trees to further establish their strong hold on the bedrock. the site is only accessible during the wet season.
I hope this answers your question Jez, please feel free to ask any more of lifes great mysteries.

Hey there dudes!!!! Just had a quick read through the messages and it's nice to see that the good news of your website is travelling as fast as you are. As Nats has said the pictures of Laos are stunning, it made me think, is this an old forest that has flooded as i'm sure the fast flowing water would kill any new sapling that tried to grow through it! Could any of you guys please advise? Enough of me being a geek! Very good work on the website boys, i'm very envious of you, wish i was there and i hope to join you (as jonny-boy said) around spring time.
Time now to sign off and get back to my financial analysis - my god, i am a geek!
Love you
