Highlights

Due to abundant year-round rainfall, Kaeng Krachan’s forest covers are blessed with several waterfalls, rivers and streams. Pa La-U Waterfall, one of the most well-known in the park, has 15 levels and flows along a creek stretching out to the Burmese border. Most visitors stop at the third level, where a large, deep pool invites a dip or swim. From this level on, the path becomes rough and steep. Those who are not physically fit may not be able to continue.

Other waterfalls require hours of trekking in deep, steep forests, and some are overnight trips. You can set up a camp along the way at provided campgrounds. To complete the Thorthip- Tharnthip-Hinlad waterfall loop, you need three to four days of trekking.

Besides waterfall trekking, you can hire a boat, canoe or kayak and sightsee inside Kaeng Krachan reservoir. Panoen Thung Moutain, Kaeng Krachan’s second highest peak at 1,207 metres above sea level, is a scenic camping site but requires about five to six hours of trekking along the six-kilometre hard trail.
