Khun Korn Waterfall

A short trip from Chiang Rai you find the beautiful Khun Korn waterfall. The water drops an impressive 70 meters although it looks like less. From the parking lot a trail leads through the jungle. The hike is 1.4 km both ways and there are some steep hills and the surface can be slippery. I recommend wearing proper shoes and bringing drinking water. I will never forget Khun Korn waterfall because I went wearing flip-flops and had no water, but definitely still worth the visit. Just don’t make the mistake as I did.

We had a great time climbing up the valley to the awesome waterfall at the top. Trainers or boots are required as flip flops just won't work. We were there on a Sunday in January 2026. When you see the sign giving you 2 choices choose the one on the right shown as "nature trail". You'll have an amazing time.

You could only see this waterfall from a distance. Notice how the other photos of the other reviews are almost the same. There are some waterfalls that you can enter but this is not one of them. I was not impressed by the experience of this visit as this venue is far from town and you would need to walk 1.4km upwards on a dirt path until you reach the viewing point. There is a “ nature trail” which I suggest you to take as it also leads to the waterfall viewing point. You could either walk on this trail on the way / on the return. There are some bridges made of bamboo that you need to cross in this nature trail. There is only a small drink stall near the parking lot. There is no food stall. Free admission.
