Pha Tat Waterfall campsite in Kanchanaburi sits right beside a three-tier waterfall inside Sri Nakarin Dam National Park in Thong Pha Phum district. The site is shaded by large trees and bordered by three clear streams that visitors can walk to and explore. Toilets and car parking are both within a short walk of the tent area. The access road is paved and not steep, making it manageable for most vehicles. Phone signal is available only on AIS and Dtac networks, with no coverage for other carriers. There is no direct electricity supply at the tent sites, but lighting is kept on all night and charging points are available at power poles. A designated cooking zone lets campers prepare their own meals. Entry costs 60 baht per person, plus 30 baht for vehicle entry and 30 baht per person per night for tent camping. Nearby attractions include Hin Dat hot spring and Pha Daeng waterfall, and Krua Chao Sua restaurant is recommended for good food.

The waterfall was beautiful and not far to walk. The water was very cold. The campsite was very beautiful; you can pitch your tent right by the stream. The restrooms were not very good.
Got it — thanks for clarifying! Let me polish your original text with that correction included: --- 🌿 A hidden gem in Kanchanaburi 🌿 This waterfall has a secret upper tier, but climbing to the very top is not permitted. The best time to visit is between October and January, when the water is plentiful and the scenery is at its most stunning. Try to avoid going right after heavy rain, as the water often turns muddy.
November still has clean waterfalls worth visiting.
PHATAD WATERFALL in Khuean Srinagarindra National Park is a beautiful three-tiered waterfall that offers a unique and panoramic experience. Each level of the waterfall presents a different scenic view, with cascading waters flowing over limestone rocks into clear pools below. The lush forest surrounding the waterfall adds to its serene atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful day out. The paths leading to the waterfall are well-marked and suitable for all visitors, providing easy access to each of the three levels. Phatad Waterfall is a must-visit destination for those looking to explore Thailand's natural beauty.
It's a nice waterfall with a lot of green nature around. The waterfall seems to go straight though the forest and has quite a few layers and a quite long trail to hike. The sad part is that foreigners get charged not only double, but multiple times. But some places like here at least seem to be considerate as when I showed that I'm living here for a long time, they let me in for the Thai price. But those places seem very rare!
