Mae Kampong Waterfall

You can walk to this waterfall (starting point) from Mae Kampong Village, a bit of a hilly walk on a paved road but it is an easy walk. Once you arrive at the starting point of the trail leading to the waterfall(s), there is a mixture of well-maintained steps/tracks with a steep climb. The steps and tracks are wet/muddy and require appropriate shoes. You walk along the seven tiers which can be reached via a narrow path, leading into the jungle along the stream. The roaring sound of the cascading waterfall descending over a steep, rocky surface feels like being immersed in raw, untamed nature. The steps/track goes almost to the top of the waterfall, but I didn’t go to the end of the track as there were no proper steps. I returned back on a different track which run through the forest, a bit away but runs parallelly (almost) from the main track along waterfalls.

Going up by feet or public bus from the village to beginning of the way to the waterfall and walk up. After the first 50 meters you see an quite nice waterfall and think "o.k., nice" - but this is just the beginning. It goes up and up and up for about 20 minutes about rocks and many, many stairs allways behind the water. It's sometimes slippery and muddy, good shoes may be usefull. You will have some nice views.

The waterfall is not too well managed like some others. There are human-constructed concrete stairs to higher levels. Still natural in many ways. Problems during my visit in mid Jan 2026 - road from Kiew Fin to the waterfall is under construction, you may be able to drive through if you are lucky, no official staff at the waterfall - not sure how to manage in case of emergency.
