Beautiful nature. The waterfall is a treat. However to get there is a trek. I would say the hike is medium+. What makes it more challenging is that you have to cross the river many times in zig zag in order to ascend. Also passing rocky areas. Even though there's a lot of water involved, wearing proper hiking shoes with a good sole grip is the best. Even if the get wet. As there's a lot of sharp rocks and wearing flip flops would not be protective for your toes and feet. If not having hiking shoes, at best use Crocs shoes with toe coverage and a band in the heal so the foot doesn't slip. There's also 2 waterfalls near each other one is lower both in altitude and the height of the waterfall, and the other one is much higher up to reach it. We went to the higher up. For this one the hike is trickier. For sure this is not a hike to go with small kids (unless you are very experienced) or for persons with some physical challenges as it can be strenuous. It took us about 1.5 hours to go up, at a decent speed. Do also give yourself plenty of time, meaning don't go up if it's already mid afternoon as it would get dark and can easily get lost. The paths are not very clear. And the forest is in its own rather dark with lots of shade. If it's already 2 or 3 pm might be best not to go all the way to the waterfalls.
A beautiful hidden gem of a beautiful waterfall and really fun walking trails. The Song Nang waterfall trail is 2km in and 2km out. However it will take longer to go up through a steep trail to reach Tat Mok waterfall. It was 8.8km in total from the start of the trail at the carpark up to Tat Mok waterfall then down to Song Nang waterfall then back to the carpark. About 3 hours including lunch break for us. I definitely recommend visiting this waterfall if you enjoy hiking.
This national park is lacking in public relations. The waterfall is hidden 2.2 km. away from the entrance. However, to get there, you need to be prepared. You need good trekking shoes. Slippery shoes are not suitable as you need to walk across the creek for 19 times and climb up and down a lot. It will take about 2 hours to go up and another 2 hours to come down the same way so prepare for drinking water and some snacks or lunch. Luckily, it will be worth it. The trail is fulfilling. It is beautiful and tranquil. You will be happy even if you don't make it to the top as the journey is already beautiful.
Despite having access to only half the route, we were properly impressed with the views here. There’s also a campground called ลานชมดาว where one can pitch tents or rent tents and bedding from the National Park Service folks there. Unsure whether overnight privileges are limited to Thais, best to check ahead.
Great great great place! Wonder why there is not much visitor!!! The place is stunning! Quiet, well organized. There is no phone signal but who cares! Entrance fee 100 baht 30 for the car, camping 30 b per person. Dreams are beautiful as the sky at night!
