New waterfall discovered

Phitsanulok provincial authorities said a new and beautiful waterfall has been discovered and will be declared a new tourist attraction of the province.

The new water is named Phai See Thong (golden bamboo) Waterfall, and will be officially listed as a tourist attraction on October 21, according to local authorities.

Local villagers from the Baan Tor Rua community in the province’s Wang Nok Aen Subdistrict are now making preparations to improve walkways leading to the waterfall before it is open for tourists.

The nine-level waterfall is situated amidst a mixed deciduous forest, with the main highlight being a 15-meter cascade located at the fall’s level 5.

To reach the waterfall, tourists are advised to take the Phitsanulok-Lom Sak route (Highway No 12) and make a right turn on the Baan Kaeng Jung Nang-Baan Rak Thai junction in Noen Maprang District and drive for at least 15 kilometres to reach the destination.

On October 21, the waterfall will be announced as a natural and agro-tourism attraction, as the area around the waterfall is teeming with orchards and vegetable gardens, authorities said.

20 Baht for the Thai visitors

200 Baht for me, if I ever visit it.

Sorry, edited as I overestimated the price.

Discovered? Surely local villagers have always known about this waterfall.

They didn't just discover the waterfall, but they discovered a new money source.

They finally got the electric hooked up to the pump! Now they just have to start counting the $!

[ignis]

Many tourists arrive in the dry season, is there still a waterfall ?

remember years ago while on holiday here, long walk/hike to a waterfall with a tiny dribble of water

Certainly sounds like it judging by that article:

"On October 21, the waterfall will be announced as a natural and agro-tourism attraction, as the area around the waterfall is teeming with orchards and vegetable gardens, authorities said."

Unless "wild" vegetable gardens are a common thing in Thailand ?

[retell]

Or could be a broken main waterline ?.

I feel sorry for the locals that will not be able to visit their waterfall now without paying 20 baht.

The talk about entrance fees is based on what?

Time of day and if locals are using it as a shower

Not sure what your question is, but farangs pay 10x what a Thai does to visit national parks, which is why I refuse to go to any. I'd be taking my boy to places like this all the time if it wasn't for such a massive difference.

Now you're underestimating it. It was announced a few days ago prices for tourists visiting national parks are to rise from 200 to 300 Baht (with some rising from 400 to 500 Baht). (Thais will continue to pay 20 Baht.)

I just discovered a bar down on Soi 6 that ...........

Where did you read this is a national park with entrance fees (except in the answers here on the forum)?

[soalbundy]

That's ruined the place now, it will be teeming with plastic bottles and rubbish inside two months and the Orchids will 'disappear''

[soalbundy]

double post

[kartman]

Nah it's a tap the local Del Boy & Rodney will signal Uncle Albert to turn it on as soon as any visitors come into sight.

[Cylon]

I visited one in Krabi, 100 baht for me and 20 bahts for each of my staff.

Sorry, it is NEWLY DISCOVERED. I'm afraid that will be 400 Baht.

That's before VAT.

And before another 100 baht for the COMPULSORY 'Tourist Safety Fund'.

Parking for Thais - Free.

Parking for foreigners - 100 baht. PER HOUR!

[Darbar]

Maybe this will save Thai tourism numbers..

I wonder what next.. maybe a 'safe tourist zone' where police officers can be trusted, and do not take bribes under any circumstances

[emilymat]

What is Thailand. Borneo? Are they going to discover a lost tribe of cannibals next?.

Last week while cutting the 2 meter high jungje in my garden i discovered my watermeter

[attento]

Error in the headline ?

should read < OLD WATERFALL DISCOVERED >

and, if there are so many orchards around, surely the locals will have been harvesting the fruits for years........

Acquire, then flash a thai drivers license and you will never pay ferang prices again at these places. I have never paid ferang prices at National Parks since I started showing my thai license.

[greenchair]

Oh shut up one and all. It doesn't even talk about entrance fees. Can't you stay on topic.

The topic is waterfalls and beautiful fauna. I might go to visit if I have time how lovely.

Well you are a lucky one, it doesn't work all the time, wish people would stop pushing it as 100% fact.

I don't know if you have visited all NPs in Thailand, but of the ones I have visited there has been about 50/50 acceptance of my Thai driving license. A Thai ID is the only way to be 100% sure to pass as "Thai".

'... and drive for at least 15 kilometres to reach the destination.' ?

[globin]

Are those concrete blocks behind the fall?....there seems to be a lot of horizontal lines in there?
