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

The waterfall is merely a pretext. What truly draws visitors is the surrounding jungle with its dense canopy, fresh air, golden weavers in the branches, butterflies, and the sound of rushing water instead of the traffic noise of Patong. Those expecting a spectacular waterfall will be disappointed. However, those seeking two or three peaceful hours in the forest will be delighted.

The large pool is on the lowest level, where most visitors stop. Don't! A long staircase leads up, and further up there are more pools, culminating in a short jungle path. Local children swim here; few tourists venture this far, and the whole place has a natural, slightly deserted charm that regulars particularly appreciate. No entrance fee, no tickets, and nobody will sell you anything.

Timing is crucial. During the dry season, there is hardly any water flow, and visitors in February found the rocks almost bare. Therefore, a trip during the rainy months of May to October, or shortly thereafter, is recommended.
