| Na Muang Waterfall |
Delightfully refreshing forest forays, if you plan to do more than admire the view - that is plunge into one of the island's natural waterfalls, then take along a sturdy and non-slip pair of old shoes and tread carefully. Those who have difficulty walking mountain paths are advised to visit Na Muang 1, and content themselves with enjoying the view. The volume of water at the falls will vary, depending on the time of year and recent rainfall. The last few months of the year are the wettest, while the months of March through September are fairly dry.
Na Muang 1
In the southwest corner of the island, this is the most easily accessible of Samui's three waterfalls. Choose this one if you tire easily walking in the heat, as you can drive almost all the way to the spot. At the base of the falls, there is a large natural pool where you can take a dip.
Na Muang 2
Accessible by way of a concrete road south of Na Muang 1 (on rte. 4169) this is considered by most, to be the island's most beautiful waterfall. You reach it by ascending a rocky path. The walk takes about 10 minutes.
Hin Lad Waterfall
Hikers will relish the two kilometer walk through the forest to reach this spot, where the falls with their lovely natural bathing pool awaits them. Located two kilometers south of Nathorn, on the eastern end of route 4172. |
