About Huai To Waterfall

Nestled about 30 minutes from Aonang, a stunning waterfall and national park beckon visitors with its natural beauty. The journey to this natural wonder is an adventure in itself, with a pick-up-taxi ride through the scenic landscape. The entrance fee is a mere 100 baht, a small price to pay for the breathtaking views that await at the highest point of the park. The climb is worth every step, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area. The park also offers a refreshing swim in the waterfall's pool, a perfect way to cool off after the climb. However, it's recommended to wear good shoes for a safer and more comfortable climb.

This natural gem is located approximately 38-40 km away from Krabi Aao Nang Beach. It's an ideal destination for those who enjoy hills and natural scenery. The journey to the park is best enjoyed on a two-wheeler, offering a memorable trip through lovely interior roads. The park is also a great place for a picnic, with snacks providing good company during the trek. The trek to the waterfall is about 800 meters, and it's best to visit in the morning to avoid high temperatures. On the way back, the Mountain View restaurant is a must-visit for food and drinks.

The waterfall is a sight to behold, with cold water cascading down in different sections. The hike to the top is short and easy, but caution is advised as the rocks can get quite slippery. Despite the blazing sun, the water remains stone cold, providing a refreshing dip. The scenic walk offers plenty of photo opportunities, making it a photographer's paradise.

The waterfall is also a great place to unwind and relax. A group of friends who rented a scooty from Aonang visited the tiger cave before heading to the waterfall. The drive to the waterfall was an awesome experience, with the GPS guiding them through the beautiful landscape. The waterfall, nestled in a nice little jungle, was a perfect spot to splash around and relax. After an hour of fun and relaxation, they had lunch and went for a walk to the waterfall. The entry ticket was 100THB per person, and parking was 20thb.

However, not all experiences at the park were positive. Some visitors were upset by the treatment of elephants at a nearby location. They felt that the elephants were not treated well and that the place was more focused on making money than on the welfare of the animals. They were particularly upset by the use of hooks on the elephants and the lack of interaction between the elephants and the visitors.

Despite this, the waterfall and national park remain a must-visit destination. The park is not crowded with tourists, offering a peaceful and serene environment. Visitors can swim in the cool fresh water at the base of the waterfall, which has at least 8 levels and beautiful pools at the higher levels. The park is not far from the tiger temple, and it's easy to get there by hiring a car. The entrance fee to the National Park area is 100bht.

The trip to the waterfalls was included in a package for a nearby elephant trek. The walk to the waterfall was pleasant, although a bit slippery in parts. The guide showed various insects living in the forest along with a tarantula burrow. The water was refreshing and not crowded, offering a peaceful experience. However, some visitors were uncomfortable with the treatment of the elephants during the trek. They noticed blood spots on the elephants' heads and ears and were upset by the use of hooks on the elephants. Despite this, they enjoyed the end of the tour, where they got to scrub the elephant's back and cool it down by pouring water over its back.
