About this audio guide
This guide to Grand Canyon Water Park in Chiang Mai traces how a quarry dug for road-building stone filled with monsoon rain and became a turquoise swimming hole nicknamed for its resemblance to the Arizona canyon. It follows two friends who climbed the same cliff-top ledge above the water one September morning in 2016, and an earlier 2014 drowning that had already happened here. Listen with a view of the ledges around the pool.
