The Umphang Thi Lo Su Waterfall (Thai: น้ำตกทีลอซู, also spelt as Thee Lor Sue, The Lor Sue, Thee Lor Sue or Te-law-zue) is claimed to be the largest and highest waterfall in Thailand. It stands 250 metres (820 ft) high and nearly 450 metres (1,480 ft) wide on the Mae Klong River, flowing down from Huai Klotho into the Umphang Wildlife Sanctuary in Tak Province in northwestern Thailand.
The waterfall has apparently never been surveyed, so the figures given are approximate.
Famous quotes containing the words thee, sue and/or waterfall:
“Oh, give me again the rover’s life—the joy, the thrill, the whirl! Let me feel thee again, old sea! let me leap into thy saddle once more. I am sick of these terra firma toils and cares; sick of the dust and reek of towns.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Apart, we think we wish ourselves together,
Yet sue for solitude upon our meetings....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Just as a waterfall grows slower and more lightly suspended as it plunges down, so the great man of action tends to act with greater calmness than his tempestuous desires prior to the deed would lead one to expect.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
