    Lovely waterfall, plenty of flow even now during the dry season. It's free to visit, you have to sign-in at a checkpoint on the road before getting to the parking area. It's then a lovely 30 min walk along a carved out forest trail steadily uphill to the Waterfall. I was first to arrive at 9.10am, all you could hear along the path was the sound of birds singing and the cascading water from the stream.

    An amazing experience. Make sure that you wear appropriate footwear and take water, as the hike up to the waterfall isn't the easiest, it takes at least 20-30 minutes at a steady pace! Also, take swim wear and a towel for the chance to take a dip in/under the waterfall! Overall this place is great, quiet, and magical. Oh one more thing, take bug repellent!

    For a fairly fit person the hike is moderate. I felt that it was much shorter to get to the waterfall than the actual distance described. It is a lovely sight. Pool is not deep. Maximum 1.22m. Avoid eating at the riverside restaurants just before you get to the park. Food is exorbitant, drastically over priced and taste horrible. Enjoy the view with your sandwiches and let the Bhats stay in your pocket.

    This was my second visit to this waterfall, the first being 5 years ago. Easy access from Chiang Rai, a 35 minute motorbike ride along well maintained roads. Access is free! The only toilets are located at the parking area. They were clean enough and had both squat and sit down style with water hose, but no paper or soap. The hike to the falls is around 3km round trip from the parking area. It's a little steep in some areas but easily achieved without training or special footwear. When you first pass under the entry sign, the trail splits left and right. Both trails end up at the waterfall, so you can take one path on the way up and the other path on the way down. And when you get about 200 meters from the waterfall the trail splits again, with both trails ending at the waterfall. The trail is well marked and well maintained all the way. It is slippery around the falls, as the water drops with such force that a misty wind is created and everything here is wet. Warning signs for snakes, but I didn't see any here on this day. I have seen the green pit vipers at other locations nearby though, so it's good to keep an eye out for them.

    Great waterfall, definitely worth a trip from Chiang Rai. Very quiet, we had the whole waterfall to ourselves. Walk takes about 30 mins to complete, take lots of water as it gets sweaty and mosquito repellent.

    Excellent trail in the rain forest accessible to almost all. The path is well maintained and it’s impossible to get lost. It’s a total of 1.4k to reach the end. The way to the waterfall goes up so pace yourself. It might feel a little challenging but if you take your time you’ll be fine. Enjoy the green lush forest and look up for birds. There are toilets at the start of the trail. Note that you have to make it back to the gate by 4:30pm.

    It's a super pretty waterfall, it's about a 2.5 km forest walk that is a little up and down and good sites are recommended. It's not super strenuous, but not usable if you have difficulty walking on rough terrain. It's definitely worth a visit. Bug spray is also recommended.

    Really nice hike, takes about an hour in total. I would recommend to keep left and the way to the waterfall (mostly ascending path and a little bit kore challenging), and return with the other path which has a fee cool bamboo bridges with a flatter path. Took a swim at the bottom of the river waterfall, though I would recommend bringing an extra pair of shoes!

    Free parking, no entrance fee. Plus it is very nice walk through the jungle and into the waterfall. Very nice nature, just driving throughout national park was amazing.

    A very nice place; we went thanks to a recommendation from someone we met. I would say the walk is of easy difficulty, but it's recommended to wear sneakers because there are places where you have to walk through water.

    To go to the waterfall we did an easy hike of 1.4 km and it was quite nice. The waterfall itself was 70m high and very impressive. Swimming there was the cherry on top of the cake!

    Beautiful, very tall waterfall even during dry season. The wind and mist that comes off it is incredible. The hike is well marked and relatively easy. Probably an hour or so round trip depending on ability level. The ground is uneven and slippery at points so be careful.

    Beautiful waterfall and the biggest (70 meters?!) in Chiang Rai. We loved the easy walk to the waterfall. Not many people at the weekend. No entry-fee! The water was really, really cold, but we enjoyed the view. I highly recommend it!

    Best place for nature lovers,there is small hiking to be done to reach waterfall. Not much hard for hiker's. Best place to spend with loved one's, especially with boyfriend or girlfriend 😍😍❤️❤️

  • 5/5 Bj S. 11 months ago on Google
    Absolutely loved the walk to the waterfall. Wasn't expecting the falls to have so much water since it hasn't rained in a while. I can only imagine wet season. Ig: Bj.thetraveller

    Incredibly well maintained trail with no one on it this time of year. The road up is in perfect condition and there are some great stops along the way like swanky Canary Farm & RiRi Japanese tea house. Beautiful hike, simply magical waterfall.

👍👍 Amazing waterfall in secluded section of nature outside of Chiang Rai. It requires a little hike but it’s worth it once you get there. The water is freezing but you can swim there and chill under the falls. We got lucky when we got there as it was completely empty but there was a big group coming do...
