Dee Dote Waterfall

#summervacay Dee Dote Waterfall is like nature’s version of a hidden spa, tucked just outside of Mandalay city. The minute you arrive, the first thing you’ll notice is the water, it’s this crazy clear turquoise-blue that looks totally fake (but it’s 100% real, I swear). No crazy hiking needed either, it’s a short walk from the parking area, super easy to get to. The place has a bunch of little pools where you can swim, splash around, or just sit with your feet in the water and chill. It’s surrounded by trees and rocks, so it feels like your own little jungle getaway. Locals were hanging out, having snacks, and just enjoying the cool air, total good vibes. It’s best to come on a weekday if you want it quiet. Bring snacks, your swimsuit, and maybe a towel if you're planning to dip (you should). Super refreshing spot, perfect for a half-day escape from the Mandalay heat!
