Khao Yai is not far. 3 decent waterfalls there. I've been to 2 of them. Haew Narok is not for people with walking difficulties and that last staircase is really steep.

Haew Narok Waterfall (น้ำตกเหวนรก)[edit]

Haew Narok is a waterfall formed from Tha Dan canal. It is known as one of the tallest and most beautiful waterfalls of Khao Yai National Park. Originally, before the Prachin Buri - Khao Yai road was cut, it is only accessible on foot and would take at least 6 hours to make it there, but after the finishing of the Prachin Buri - Khao Yai road, it is easily accessible by cars since the road passes near Haew Narok Waterfall. There is a parking lot just 1 kilometer away from the waterfall. Upon reaching the waterfall, there is a staircase going down about 50 meters, which is quite narrow and steep.

In the rainy season, there will be a lot of rain water but in the dry season, there will be few to no water falling down the cliff.

Pha Kluai Mai Waterfall (น้ำตกผากล้วยไม้)[edit]

Pha Kluai Mai Waterfall gets its water source from Huai Lam Takhong.

To get there, you have to park your car at Pha Kluai Mai tent yard and walk on.

The waterfall gets its name from the abundance of orchids present there.

Haew Su Wat Waterfall (น้ำตกเหวสุวัต)[edit]

This waterfall gets its source from the Huai Lam Takhong flowing through a 25 meter high cliff. The basin of the waterfall is suitable for swimming, however, the national park prohibits swimming due to fear of turbulent flood waters.[citation needed]

In the rainy season, the falling water will make a scattered mist of water vapor. In the dry season, the waterfall will recede, revealing a shortcut into a small cave under the waterfall cliff.[citation needed]

One urban legend reports that Haew Su Wat was named after a thief named Suwat who, in order escape government authority, jumped into the basin. However, there's no verifiable proof of this actually happening so the origin of the name is currently unknown.

Great info thank you
