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

Come for the water. This park in Saraburi is built around a multi-tiered waterfall and offers natural pools at its base where you can cool off – a rarity in this part of Thailand. Otherwise, the area is mostly temples and ruins. Here, however, you'll find trees, rocks, and the opportunity to swim.

The hiking trails branch off in various directions and vary in difficulty. Some are short, shady, and easily walkable in sandals if you're not looking for a challenging hike. Others lead deeper into the quieter forest and require sturdy footwear. On weekends, you'll often encounter Thai families, which contributes to the pleasant atmosphere and is why I would recommend visiting during the week, if possible. Photographers will find more subjects in the forest than at the waterfalls themselves, especially in the soft morning light.

The amount of water is crucial. During and shortly after the rainy season, roughly from May to October, the waterfalls are worth a visit. Towards the end of the dry season, however, they carry less water.
