Thread: New waterfall found in Sukhothai

A new waterfall has been discovered in the middle of the Ramkhamhaeng National Park in Khiri Mat district of Sukhothai province in the North. It is being developed as a new tourist attraction.


The waterfall is about 80 metres high, with water pouring down in a single line to a natural pool by a 90-degree steep cliff. When the weather is clear, the spray of water, when parched by the sun, sends a very beautiful spectrum.


Local residents said it is probably one of the highest and most beautiful waterfalls in the Ramkhamhaeng National Park or Khao Luang.


The road to the waterfall runs through a dense forest and high mountains. The waterfall is about three kilometres from the main road, in the northern part of the national park. The forest is still fertile, rich with wildlife and natural plants.


Boonsong Chamnansua, president of Na Choeng Khiri tambon administration organisation (TAO) in Khiri Mat district of Sukhothai, led members of the media on a tour to the newly-found waterfall on Sept 28.


The waterfall has not been opened as a tourist spot. People who venture into the area without seeking permission from forest officials risk getting lost or facing dangers from the rough terrains.


Concerned officials will examine the area again in order to develop it as a new tourist attraction.

80 metres and that's the best photo they could take.

These so called 'waterfalls' in Thailand are not real 'waterfalls'. When we go on holiday down Chantaburi way the group we go with always stop off on the way back at some 'waterfall'. Not one of them is natural but man made. They're usually just weirs, but yer average Thai wouldn't know the difference. Around the base of the 'waterfall' fish are put for the visitors to feed or be chased by kids.

And should be left like that.

Before you post things like that it would be a good idea if you actually went to see more than one waterfall, but in many places you do have to walk sometimes several KM. Waterfalls are not my interest so I dont take photos of many of them but I do have a few:



Level 7 Khao Luang NP



Pha Te waterfall Lan Suan NP



Nam Tok Surin WF one of the highest in the country.

These were all taken in the dry season and they can be quite spectacular when it rains.

Oh and the fish are not put there they are there naturally, very few streams and rivers in this country that do not have fish.

Found some more photos of the new waterfall.

Be funny as fuck when it dries up in a few weeks.

Lots of waterfalls just like that in the Australian Kimberely reserve reservation .
