Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Enjoy the walk, not the swim. This compact park is built around seven small, terraced waterfalls that cascade along the Muak Lek stream. The charm lies in the stroll among the falls, surrounded by tall trees, birdsong, babbling water, and pleasant shade, even when the sun is high in the sky. The path is easy to walk, with a few gentle ascents and descents, but nothing that would overwhelm most visitors. There is ample parking and a large restaurant at the top with a view.

Don't expect too much from the water. The fourth level is the one everyone raves about and the main area where you can actually get in the water. Elsewhere, the pools are either too shallow, too deep, or too murky, especially after heavy rain. The bottom of the fourth level is littered with loose stones and pieces of wood, so be careful. If you're looking for a place to picnic and kill a few hours, this is perfect. But if you came here just to swim, you'll be disappointed.
