Thailand is known for many attractions among savvy tourists, from its beaches to its food and nightlife. But the country’s incredible nature has a way of surprising and delighting visitors time and again. While its wildlife and national parks understandably receive a lot of attention,  its countless beautiful waterfalls (or nam tok in Thai) are equally deserving. So why not chase some on your next trip around the country? Allow us to showcase what we think are the best waterfalls in Thailand.

Thi Lo Su Waterfall

Often described as the highest waterfall in Thailand and the largest by volume, Thi Lo Su Waterfall is an impressive force of nature that is definitely worth the trip. Found within the Umphang Wildlife Sanctuary in central Thailand, this majestic waterfall is incredibly photogenic thanks to its three separate tiers. Estimates say that this waterfall, fed by the Mae Klong River, is between 250 and 400 meters tall and around 450 meters wide. There is a 90-minute return walk to explore each of its tiers. Visitors can also cool off and swim in the pools at the bottom of the falls.

Erawan Falls

It’s fair to say that Erawan Falls are not only the best known waterfalls in Thailand but also one of Thailand’s best waterfalls. They are a favorite spot for tourists visiting Erawan National Park in Kanchanaburi. Photographers and sightseers as well as those wanting to ʙᴇᴀт the heat flock here. Flowing straight through the jungle down seven tiers with stunning emerald green ponds between each cascade, the falls are simply magical to look at. It helps that they feature many pools of cool, crystal-clear water that provide welcome relief from the hot weather.

Bua Thong Waterfalls (Sticky Waterfalls)

While it may not be the largest waterfall you’ll come across in Thailand, Bua Thong Waterfalls are nevertheless extremely distinctive and interesting to visit. Also known as the Sticky Waterfalls, this curious sight lies just an hour and a half north of Chiang Mai.

Mae Surin Waterfall

It says a lot that Mae Surin Waterfall is considered the highlight of a trip to Namtok Mae Surin National Park. But see it surrounded by the park’s thick forest and mountains in Thailand’s far northwest and you’ll understand why it’s often considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Thailand.

Pha Charoen Waterfall

Running down 97 limestone steps, Pha Charoen Waterfall is a graceful and soothing sight to behold. Situated among the mountains of Namtok Pha Charoen National Park in Thailand’s northwest, the waterfall looks like a grand staircase elegantly flowing through the surrounding forest. It’s quite easy to get the best view of the waterfall by taking a very short walk from the road, but there are also trails that bring you further up along its many levels.
