Nam Tok Takhro campsite in Prachinburi sits inside Khao Yai National Park, right at the entrance to the waterfall with a stream running alongside the camping area and a car park nearby — making it one of the most accessible stream-side camping spots in the park. The waterfall is a wide, shallow rapid just 300 metres on foot from camp; the water is clear and cool, not too deep, and safe for kids to splash around in. Open 08:00–18:00 daily. The all-in fee covering both park entry and camping is just 40 THB per person, paid at the checkpoint with no app booking required — walk-ins are welcome. Toilets are available on site; showers are limited to one stall each for men and women, so facilities are basic. The hashtag #พักผ่อนวันหยุดกับลูกๆ (holiday with the kids) reflects how family-friendly this spot is.

The waterfall must be spectacular during the wet season but it wasn't when we visited at the end of the dry season. The place is well looked after and has the usual dual pricing set up. 200 baht/40 Staff were friendly
A very pleasent spot next to the water, there is a waterfall about 300m from the car park but when we visited in February there was no water flowing, apparently you need to visit during the wet season. It feels a bit churlish to mark it down due the seasons but I'm sure it's nice later in the year.
The secret waterfall is easy to access, just a 400-meter walk from the ticket office.
It is a part of Khaoyai national park with entrance fee. The waterfall is 200 meters walk from the parking lot. Highlight here is a big shallow pond, 30 to 100 centimeters deep (mostly 30-50 centimeters) with big rock bed suitable for kids to play. The water is running slowly (in February as of this review) but still clear. There are plenty of shade around the pond great place to picnic. You can also camp near the parking lot.
We really liked the place. It was well maintained. It has clean toilets. You need to walk about 800 meters to get to the waterfalls. There is plenty of parking space. Try to get there in the early morning as it gets really crowded around lunch time. Don't forget to take your garbage and keep the place clean!
