A quiet waterfall on the north-western side of the island, in the hills above Maenam. Smaller and far less visited than Na Muang, with no tour buses and a pool suitable for swimming after good rainfall. Best reached by scooter or car — the road up is paved but narrow. Go when the water is running strong, after a few days of rain, for the best experience.
