Mae Klang Waterfall sits close to the entrance of Doi Inthanon National Park along Highway 1009 in Chom Thong District, making it one of the most accessible natural stops on the route into the park. Its wide cascade and strong flow set it apart from the narrower falls found deeper in the park, and because it sits within the national park boundary, it is covered by the standard park entrance fee rather than requiring a separate admission.
The atmosphere here leans toward the calm and unhurried. Visitors tend to find it noticeably quieter than more heavily promoted waterfalls in the region, with lush green surroundings, natural pools at the base, and the option to sit and eat near the water. A small food area on site serves local dishes, making it a practical spot to pause and rest during a longer drive through the national park.

Reviews from Google
Mae Klang Waterfall sits near the foot of Doi Inthanon National Park, along Highway 1009, in Tambon Ban Luang, Chom Thong District, Chiang Mai.  • It’s one of the first waterfalls encountered when approaching the park from the east.  • The fall is roughly 30 meters high over a wide rock face, then continues downstream in cascades and rapids.  • The walk from the car park to the viewing area is easy, about a few hundred meters (≈ 400-500 m).  • Facilities: There’s a parking area, small restaurants/vendors, benches, toilets. The path is shaded by trees.  • Best time to visit: During or after the rainy season (roughly June-October), when the water flow is more dramatic. Some say early dry season (November) is still good.
Mae Klang Waterfall is a beautiful natural spot and well worth a visit. The entrance price is reasonable, and the nature is absolutely breathtaking. Lush, green, and very peaceful. One thing to keep in mind: it can be a bit cool, especially near the water, so bringing a light jacket is a good idea.
Nice relaxing place, small spot, we went there mid week around 13.30. It wasnt busy at all. Just peace and sound of water. We had charcaol chook and thai salad. All tasty. We eat by the water was really nice feeling.
