Why go, and how to do it well

Come for the walk as much as the water. It's about 15 minutes on a maintained path through jungle to reach the falls, and the trail is easy enough that small children manage it, though the rocky sections need a bit of care. Entry is 200 baht per person, paid on arrival, no booking, no tour needed. Rent a scooter and drive yourself.

There are two falls and a few small pools where you can climb in and cool off. In January the water in the smaller pool runs chilly and looks cloudy, so judge it before you commit. Flow is at its strongest in the rainy season, roughly May to October. Across from the falls there's a monkey rescue, and you'll hear them howling the whole time you're there, which does a lot for the jungle feel. Some stretches of the trail have litter on them, which is a shame but doesn't ruin it. Crowds are thin compared with anything on the coast.

Reviews from Google

Two pretty waterfalls at the end of a really nice trail. Nothing extraordinary, but still very calm and serene. Some spots along the trail were sadly littered on, but nonetheless the jungle was still amazing. We went in January, and the water in the smaller pool by the smaller waterfall was actually a bit chilly, but still bearable and refreshing in the heat (saying as someone who really hates cold, has a thin skin, and bad blood flow), but be careful, the water there was unclear and the pool's floor uneven and at some places sharp. Overall I found this place magical, and for me it was worth the 200 baht entrance fee to the park, I had a good time.

Paid 200 bath per person to get in! Well worth it!!! Hardly anyone around too! And the ones that were, were kind and helped us!! The waterfall was absolutely amazing!! So beautiful and 100% would come again ♥️♥️ (We brought bug repellent and that was definitely a good idea)

Very nice waterfall. Only a short walk through the forest. But it is a maintained path and very easy also for small kids. Make sure your taxi is waiting for you.
