Beautiful waterfalls with 5 levels that are available for tourists. In total the waterfalls have 15 levels which you can see on a map at the entrance. You can also feed fish here with food that can be bought for 10Baht at the entrance. In addition they have a small shop to buy refreshment and snacks. If you are planning to make your way up to level 5 make sure you bring enough water as it is a quite exhausting way. You can also swim here if you want. The water is cool and refreshing. Food is not allowed after level 1 so make sure you eat before you go further. There is a checkpoint after level 1 where you have to deposit your food to make sure no food goes further than level 1 but you are allowed to bring water. Entrance fee for adult foreigners is 300 Baht and for kids 150 Baht. For thai nationals it is 60 Baht and 30 Baht for kids. Vehicles are 30 Baht and motorcycles 20 Baht

About an hour drive from Hua Hin city central to this local waterfall. The waterfall is under the park ranger maintenance and control. Theres small fee for enter. Its a great place to bring family for the time together. We visited during long weekend and theres were lots of local, foreigners and Bangkok people.

Nice drive to the park from Hua Hin on a winding small road. 300 Baht entrance fee for non-Thais and 30 Baht per car. I picked a rainy day, which had the advantage of the park being very quiet. At most of my walk I was alone. Disadvantage is that the rocks are extremely slippery. Friendly NP staff. Some signs are just in Thai and there was no mobile signal, so I couldn't translate it. If I understand it correctly, there is NO food or drinks allowed past the second waterfall. It's a sweaty and very slippery climb though.

Very nice area with a lot of places to enjoy and rest in the cool forest. Wished you could even go more up, the adventure was limited up to stage 4. IMO there are too many fish, which makes it a bit difficult to get into the water. We have been there on a weekday and we’re lucky that the were not many visitors. Unfortunately they did not excepted my Thai ID card, as was mentioned wherefore I had to pay the high farang entry fee. But have to confess, it was worth it!

Pa La-U Waterfall, entrance fee 60 baht, transportation fee 30 baht, great atmosphere, very natural, clear and cool water, the way up to the waterfall is not difficult, some rocks are quite slippery, so shoes must be suitable and have good grip.
Sutthinan C — Google review
They are small waterfalls on 16 levels. You can visit up to the 5th level, where I believe the most beautiful waterfall is located. To get there, however, you have to wade through the stream, walking on very slippery rocks at the water's edge. I stopped at the 4th level. The ticket price is 300 baht for entry and 30 baht for parking. Perhaps a bit excessive for what it offers!
Davide C — Google review
The path is quite slippery and challenging. A little climb on rocks along the way. There re 5 floor of waterfall. I recommend 5th floor to enjoy less people and swimmable pool.

Lovely river hike upstream. I climbed to level 5 on many past occasions, but had to stop at level 3 yesterday due to rain/ wet and slipper rocks. Loved it still!

Nice close to nature camping site with limited overnight stay quota. However, a 4-wheels-drive car with somewhat under body height is recommended (if you want to be there by ur own car).

Long bumpy trip in a 4x4. OK if you're planning to camp, but for me not much to do at the top and as it was cloudy couldn't see a thing. Best part was the fallen tree which we had to clear.
Geordie A — Google review
The ride to the top can only be done on a 4x4.. such an experience. I would recommend to hire the pickup truck from the national park. Costs 1800 thb per truck. Amazing views and terrains. Great ambience, can easily spot hornbill.

Fantastic views, Gibbons and Dusky Leaf Monkeys. Worth the hours drive up steep, bumpy roads.
Stephen S — Google review
Beautiful nature, calm and peaceful. Nice view, and if you are lucky, you can see a few animals.
Daniel F — Google review
Nice at the top. 2.5 hour drive in hired jeep to get there on a very bumpy windy road. Coffee and toilets at the top and great views. Not many people and well kept.
Chris F — Google review
Beautiful viewpoint, of the mountains near by and for bird life. We went early before the crowd, the crowd came short after, on a Sunday. Area is very clean and has a noodle shop for breakfast. Must see if you are in the area. We went as a part of the trek tour. Lots of hiking, good to spend some time there. There are some langurs in that are as well Toilets are pretty clean.
Umesh W — Google review
Beautiful sun set and in the morning a wonderful view to the lake of clouds. About 6 km away are two other nice spots. The scenic point is in walking distance from the camp place. No chance to see some seldom animals. To busy that place, at least on weekends.
