Krathing Waterfall

Krathing Waterfall is a large and very tall waterfall, the top of which is an open cliff where you can see the waterfall from the mountain in the distance. The upstream comes from the water source on Khao hitchakut, with a total of 13 levels, which highlights the most beautiful point of Namtok Krathing at the 8th and 9th floors, but the national park is open for us to walk up to the 8th floor only. The distance of each floor is not very far apart, so you can walk comfortably.

Each level of the waterfall has different beauty. For the first level of the waterfall, located just 100 meters from the office, near the park's villas and tourists can swim at all levels. In the waterfall basin are rocks and sand, so the water is so clear that you can see the fish that are present in the waterfall.

The floor that people like to stop by for swimming the most is the 3rd floor because it is not far from the office, no need to climb, not very tired, the water is not strong and there is a pool for swimming, suitable for relaxing.

On the 3rd floor, there is also a wooden bridge for us to stop and take photos as well. When you continue walking up to the other waterfalls, you have to walk along the stream up the hill further. The path may be steep and a little slippery. You should walk with caution.

The park area Shady with large and small trees that fill the area, giving the park a cool climate. For the period that is suitable for visiting Krating Waterfall, the most beautiful should come during the after rain, which is around mid-October to mid-February. You'll see the surrounding greenery with mosses, ferns, flowers and tiny mushrooms. The camping area is near the reservoir. During the cold weather, we may see fog in the morning and take very beautiful photos.

How to get to Krating Waterfall?

Krathing Waterfall is about 4 hours from Bangkok, 253 kilometers distance. You can rent a car from Bangkok and drive according to the map

We were so impressed that we visited this place twice during one year period. The 3rd floor is easy to access from the parking place. We heard that the highest floor was the most spectacular but it was too tiring for us to go to the top. In fact, the way to go uphill is not overly difficult or steep. Healthy adults should reach there without difficulties. During this period, proof of Covid vaccination is required before entering the National Park

On Mar the water level is very low. But I believe that after rain this place will be very beautiful.

This water fall is very quiet and has many levels, very very fresh here. A bit far from town but worth the trip if you don't mind hiking for solitude on higher levels.

Bring your bathers and swim with the fish. Lovely and cool in the edge of jungle. Warning! Google maps directed me to private roads nearby, completely wrong. So take the corner on my photo. Oh,and if a westener... have your vacination certificate with you. How did they think i got in the country anyway??? Ha ha

Amazing place to spend the day. Hike to waterfall 9 for a great view but waterfall 6 has the best pool to play in. From the bottom of the waterfall, follow the river downstream a little ways and you'll find a rope swing.

Nice and beautiful Waterfalls. Took medium effort to walk up to 9th floor.

ถึงน้ำตกกระทิงอิงไพสณฑ์
น้ำลัดเลาะไหลหล่นเป็นธารใส
ก่อเป็นเสียงสำเนียงขับกล่อมไพร
ก่อเกิดธารน้ำใสเลี้ยงพนา
