Tad Fane (also spelled Tad Fen or Tat Fan) is a natural twin waterfall on the Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos, located within or adjacent to the Dong Hua Sao jungle/national biodiversity area. Sources consistently describe the falls as plunging approximately 120 m from streams originating at roughly 1,000 m elevation on the plateau. The site is a frequent stop on travel itineraries for visitors to Champasak Province and is often mentioned alongside other regional falls such as Tad Champi, Tad Yuang and Tad Lo. Travel accounts note visitor infrastructure including viewpoints and, in at least one account, a resort with wooden bungalows overlooking the falls. The supplied research materials focus on the waterfall's geography, ecology and touristic use; they do not record any documented paranormal incidents, named spirits, or specific local legends tied to Tad Fane. While the research prompt referenced legends of drowned spirits and rock apparitions, those motifs do not appear in the provided sources and therefore cannot be corroborated in this entry. The waterfall retains cultural and regional significance primarily as a landmark of the Bolaven Plateau and as part of the area's rainforest biodiversity and visitor economy.
