The raft jolts forward, spray flecking faces as the current negotiates a narrow channel beneath a canopy of tamarind and dipterocarp. For one kilometer the river takes the lead—rock shelves nudging the raft, sun pockets opening between leaves, and the distant roar of Kuang Si growing louder until the falls come into view like a living wall of motion.
