Tone Nga Chang Waterfall

Unspoiled nature so close to Hat Yai city. Virgin forest with 5km nature trail looping alongside the waterfall. The waterfall itself is amazing too. Be warned there are leeches in water upstream in waterfall section 3 and above. Ask me how I know.

40min short drive from hatyai Entrance fee : 200baht for non-thai. Alot parking spots, with some stalls selling foods. Toilets/changing rooms available. Clean. And there are some chalet inside. Huge area, there are 7 levels waterfall, but we only manage to go up(hiking) to 3rd one. Overall very nice waterfall. Alot of fishes at the first one. Good for family picnic.. Recommended for nature lover! Worth to visit..

Place was gorgeous and peaceful. Hubs and i came early to avoid the crowd but we were the 3rd group there before 10am. There's no proper place/seating to put your bags down and toilet is unfortunately quite far. Its at the carpark area before you make your way in the waterfall. If possible, please don't bring actual food(eg rice dishes) except biscuits, cause can feed the fishes. There's a lot. If have to bring food, please bring a plastic bag to throw your trash away outside of the area. Littering at a gorgeous place is criminal. Other reviews of the catfish are true, so please wear leggings/long pants if you have sensory issues or don't want to get a scar from the catfish sucking (which my hubs kena)

🌿 A Must-Visit Natural Gem – Ton Nga Chang Waterfall, Songkhla, Thailand 🌿 If you’re a nature lover or someone looking to reconnect with the outdoors, Ton Nga Chang Waterfall is an unforgettable destination that deserves a spot on your itinerary. Nestled deep within the Ton Nga Chang Wildlife Sanctuary in Hat Yai district, this majestic multi-tiered waterfall is one of Southern Thailand’s most breathtaking natural wonders. From the moment we entered the protected park area, we were greeted by lush greenery, fresh mountain air, and the serene sound of cascading water in the distance. The waterfall itself is divided into seven levels, each with its own unique charm and viewpoint. The most famous is the third tier, known as “Ton Nga Chang”, or “Elephant Tusk Falls,” where the water splits into two powerful streams, resembling the tusks of an elephant—truly a sight to behold! The trail leading to the upper levels is moderately challenging, offering a bit of adventure for hikers and nature enthusiasts. It’s well-maintained but natural, so wearing proper shoes is a must. Along the way, you’ll pass large boulders, shaded jungle paths, and small pools where visitors can rest or take a refreshing dip. It’s easy to lose track of time while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and stunning views. 📸 Highlights: • Crystal-clear freshwater streams perfect for dipping your feet or swimming • Excellent photo spots at almost every level • Great for picnics, but do bring your own trash bag • Family-friendly up to level 2 or 3; more adventurous hiking beyond that • Wildlife sightings: butterflies, birds, and even monkeys if you’re lucky! 🛑 A Gentle Reminder to All Visitors: With increasing popularity, it’s more important than ever to protect and preserve this natural treasure. Please do not leave trash behind—bring your waste down with you and use the bins provided. Avoid using soap or shampoo in the streams, as they pollute the water and harm aquatic life. And please, never feed wild animals, as it disrupts their natural behavior and diet. 💚 Let’s all do our part to respect the beauty of nature so that future generations can enjoy it just as we have. The waterfall is clean, vibrant, and full of life—let’s keep it that way. 🌏 Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but photos, and keep nature as you found it.

It is a small waterfall about 25 kilometers from Hat Yai. There are fish that can be fed. Children can play in the water comfortably. It is not deep and is suitable for relaxation.
