This is a very very long walk through the jungle, but the waterfall at the end is so quiet and huge and great to swim.

On the walk, almost everyone gives up and turns back. Or they get to one of the many little waterfalls thinking they've made it and then head back.

Use google maps to see when you're there. It takes a while. But when you get there, there is basically no-one there, it's huge and there is an incredible place to swim. I'ts so picturesque.

The food in the cafe at the start is very cheap and quite nice. The parking is free and plentiful for mopeds.

Worth the visit if you don't mind the walk.

Beautiful nature hike to have superb waterfalls.
Water at 25, we appreciate that the sea is at 30!
Free ride we just pay for water and food for the fish.
It is possible to swim in isolated basins.
It's beautiful

I personally loved it, becuase i like nature and the dzungel. The trip was a little exhausting for some. You have to climb high up in the dzungel to get to a great point where you can look down and over the treetops. But beware, do not climb up the waterfall rocks, they are very slippery! Please use the paths next to waterfall! And bring a bottle or two water with you, you´ll need it!

Must have trainers/boots and a sure foot as it is very rocky. Took around 45 to 60 minutes of slow but sure climbing to get up there. Take water as it gets hotter than beach areas. Some nice areas to stop and bathe in river. Surrounds at start of trek are pleasant. Have a beer when you come down and watch the fish and water fowl.

It was a 5km hike (or so my phone said) there and back to go all the way to the top. I must say it is a really strenuous hike to get there so not for the faint hearted. There is lots of areas to stop off along the way where the water kind of pools. The jungle hike really is beautiful, we loved it. Its mosquito heaven though so if you are prone to bites take lots of spray!

This is not a normal review for the faint hearted..only intrepid FIT and suitably atired should atempt this but the rewads are stunning.
Fist of all , take food and water with you , you will know why when you get there .
go to main area, take piks , feed fish, have some food and a drink.. then set off up the path thru jungle towards the waterfall, go past a nice shack, hut in the jungle.. lovely photo oprtunity.. carry on untill you get to the actual waterfall/water , the water there is damed so it looks like a big pond, go over the wall to the opposite side and make your way up the stream passing small waterfalls on the way .. keep heading against the flow... dont hang around, this is boring compared to further up.. about 45 mins later youll get to a big 30 /40 foot sheer cliff wall with water cascading into a rock pool you can swim in ..if noone is there swim and enjoy.. take photos .... it is lovely......
Now for the real bit ... after the cliff waterfall youll be on your own, NO tourists guaranteed.. but its not easy getting to it ..... from the rock pool as your facing it turn left and walk into the jungle . climb up and make your way towards UPSTREAM... what your trying to do is go up and around the 30 /40 foot waterfall its not easy but bear with it .. and eventually head right towards the stream and you should be above the waterfall.................. from here your on your own.. just meander up stream i did . and i even stripped off naked and had a swim in the many many rockpools... even did some naked treking ...lol this is why you need drink and food cos youll be tired from climbing .. but believe me it is worth while ... ive never experienced anything as good and ive been to samui loads.... this is my secret escape in future.... ignore other reviews .... this is the real deal... go where i say.. come back here and tell me your opinion on it .... i defy you not to be blown away by it...

Set at the foothills to the waterfall attraction is a restaurant/cafe, temple, tourist market stalls, toilets and usual refreshment vendors.

The hike to the waterfall takes a while and the often hilly track saps the energy on a typical hot and humid Thai day. You'll probably hear some strange sounding insects as you make the walk through the tropical jungle pathway, but the walk is worth it - if only to dip your feet in the pool at the waterfall. Take a drink as you're not going to get one until you get back to the waterfall entrance vendors. :D

We went to the waterfall today. The climb through the forest was nice and easy despite of the rain. On our way back we decided to have a look at the Hin Lad Temple, where the dog suddenly attacked and bitten me (white dog)! We did absolutely nothing to provoke it, so be careful crossing the bridge at the entrace (now I have to make anti-rabbies vaccination course).

The initial pool and temple area near the carpark are quite nice but you will be rewarded if you continue on and climb to the falls. It takes about half an hour to walk and I’d suggest runners because its rocky and a bit slippery. We’re in our mid-50’s with reasonable fitness and the climb is no issue. For the whole way you are surrounded by rainforest and jungle with very few signs of human activity and very little rubbish. Eventually you will reach a wide pool with a sandy shore but continue on for another few minutes to reach the actual falls. There are two large rockpools where you can swim and for most of the time there we had the place to ourselves and didn’t see anyone else. The falls themselves, the large boulders along the riverbed and lush jungle make for a pretty impressive landscape As a bonus there’s a little bar on the way where you can get stop for a drink on the way back.

We are so pleased we did this having been recommended to do so by our son. It’s quite a trek through rough terrain and you’ll need decent footwear (not flip flops)!
Take water and mosquito spray as you’ll be walking for about 1 1/2 hours in total if you go to the top, which you really must do!
Have a swim in the pools at the top too!
Great experience and glad we made the effort.
