A multi-tiered waterfall set inside a forest temple complex (Wat Hin Lad) on the west side of the island, a few kilometres south of Nathon. The trail from the road is short and shaded. In the dry season (December–April) the flow can reduce to a trickle; visit in the rainy months (May–October) for the full effect. Free to enter. The temple grounds surrounding the falls are worth the short walk in themselves.
