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

Nestled in a wooded park on the outskirts of Chiang Mai, the Montha Than Waterfall Visitor Centre serves as the gateway to a peaceful natural area featuring two cascading waterfalls. The site attracts visitors seeking a relatively easily accessible piece of nature without being far from the city, and the surroundings are generally described as beautiful and relaxing.

Visitors can explore a 1.6 km paved loop trail connecting the two waterfalls, or opt for a longer, approximately two-hour hike that leads to an upper tier of the falls and then returns to the visitor center. The atmosphere is usually tranquil, especially on weekdays, making it a truly peaceful retreat. A small cafeteria offers refreshments after the hike.

The park charges a separate entrance fee for foreign visitors, which recent visitors report ranges between 100 and 200 THB – it's advisable to inquire about the current price at the entrance. Comfortable hiking boots are recommended, especially for the longer hike. Those wishing to avoid the entrance fee should be aware that the upper waterfalls are reportedly accessible via hiking trails from above. Route descriptions are available in popular hiking apps, but this requires more effort and a good sense of direction. As there is no official website, it's recommended to check the current opening times locally before traveling.
