My experience - never-ever go there at weekends! Overcrowded You not allowed to bring any food but also no any water. (Sorry What?) 100 baht for foreigners. Security not allowed me to go to the waterfall. But all locals is easily go there with no permission. Park closed at 16.30 ≈ 17 security were forcing people to leave. Discrimination. I got worse experience. Maybe at the week days is less people and more friendly but im not sure.
It’s so heartbreaking seeing less people traveling to this unrest Deep South province, and more people missing the opportunity to blend themselves into the nature. The highlight of this national park is definitely its waterfall which can lead you to the top of the mountains, where a big Buddha locates. It’s such a huge waterfall with clear and chilly water. I rarely see any trash in the area which isn’t surprising because foods are not allowed. But they have eateries right at the starting point. They also have the restrooms close to the parking lots.
Namtok Sai Khu waterfall 9 fall) is worth a visit and for once it is free to enter. On the other hand, you have to walk the last 300 meters up to the car park, unless you drive a 4x4 or SUV. The road is completely destroyed. There is NO water in the waterfall for very long after the rainy season, so a visit right after the rainy season is the best time. The place is completely unsuitable for people with reduced mobility.
A wonderful park to spend time at, surrounded with mother nature have to offer, with and endless water flow from the cold waterfall... Also u able to hike up the hill thru the national park.. Truly amazing scenery in the evening.. Do bring along our family, friends to have a picnic by the waters flowing down..
Highly recommended. Namtok Sai Khao National Park and the waterfall in the beautiful province of Pattani in South Thailand is a must visit for anyone visiting the South of Thailand. It has a good track / footpath and is not hazardous, unless you are careless. This place is an ideal place for any photography enthusiasts who is interested in capturing the nature. This is an ideal place for kids and family to beging an adventure of trekking. A quite environment with beautiful sound of the waterfall makes you feel relaxed. The place is not crowded. This is an ideal place for camping and having fun with your family. Unlike many other waterfalls through Thailand, this waterfall is heavy flowing and is worth all the money that you pay at the entrance. There is a small entrance fee. Very friendly staff (park rangers) who are willing to accompany you to the highest point possible of the waterfall. They give you a guided tour. Of course if you don't speak Thai or Malay language, you need someone who can speak Malay or Thai language to translate. There are toilets with water, but no toilet paper. Toilets are generally clean. Light snacks and soft drinks are available. Negative points No public transportation to the park. Need to organise your own transportation.
