About Ton Chong Fa Waterfall

The most visited waterfall of Khao Lak–Lam Ru National Park: five tiers in the forest east of Bang Niang, the main one a 10-metre drop, with pools to swim in where small fish nibble at your feet. The road from Bang Niang ends near the falls, followed by a walk of about two kilometres, first on a dirt road and then on a forest trail. Open daily from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm on the park ticket (100 THB for adults, 50 THB for children).
