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

Nestled in the interior of Ko Lanta Yai, this waterfall lies within a national park and offers a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the coast. The surrounding jungle provides pleasant coolness and shade, and the natural pools below the waterfall invite you to a refreshing swim far from the crowded beaches. For visitors already familiar with the usual resort offerings, this is a worthwhile half-day trip into the quieter, greener landscape of the island.

The path to the waterfall is well-marked but uneven, with wet stones and muddy sections that require sturdy footwear. The hike itself is more challenging than a leisurely stroll. Booking a guide at the parking lot costs 200 baht—the same as the regular entrance fee—and includes a tour of the surrounding area, including tarantula nests, insects, a cave, and various routes to the waterfall. This makes the guided tour cheaper than visiting on your own.

Entry costs 200 baht per person. Visitors who have already paid entry to Mu Ko Lanta National Park elsewhere on the island can avoid this fee by presenting proof of purchase. The park card should be kept, as it also grants re-entry to other areas of the park. Water levels are highest during and shortly after the rainy season (May to October). This is the best time to visit for a particularly strong current and deep swimming experience. As there are no facilities on site, it is strongly recommended to bring water, snacks, and a change of clothes. The best way to get there is by rented scooter or local taxi from the main towns on Ko Lanta.
