Thread: Heaw Narok Waterfall - Khao Yai National Park

A few shots of the Heaw Narok Waterfall - Khao Yai National Park. I imagine that this would be a more awesome sight during the rainy season when there is a good deal more water in the river. Sadly, swimming isn't permitted by the park guards as they don't want people going over the huge cliff!

Be warned. It's about a 1km walk from the car park down to the waterfall. There is a concrete path with the odd bridge that have been laid through the jungle. The last 100 meters are the worst cos you have to go down a steep set of steps that were built for Thais. My wife didn't make the 100 meters & I had to go alone to get the shots. I'm not a fan of such scenic stuff, but I have to admit that it was a very beautiful site.

Check out the link below to see what it looks like after 2 days of heavy downpours last October.

Standing at the viewing area was like being in a category 1 or 2 hurricane... you had to really lean into the gale-force winds in order to stand still. Plus the spray from the bottom of the falls shot upwards like a huge geyser - I was completely drenched in a matter of seconds. Definitely recommended in the rainy season if you don't mind getting wet! (But probably not a good idea to bring small children - they might literally be blown away.)
