Na Muang Waterfall Koh Samui

There are several waterfall locations on the island of Koh Samui and certainly Na Muang is one of the most impressive and well developed. Located in the southern part of the island it is about 10 kilometers away from the port town of Nathon. The waterfall is actually in two parts.

The first is very easily reached by car while the second is much further upstream and involves a bit of a walk to reach it. Being in the jungle, there are plenty of insects, so wear some repellant. Aside from the bugs the cool shelter the jungle canopy gives from the hot Samui sun is very welcoming and if you are feeling like trying something different, there is also elephant trekking available at the start of the path to the waterfalls!

The first waterfall is around 18 meters in height and is also well catered for with lots of small stalls and a café to sit and enjoy a cool drink after a dip in the water. The second waterfall is a bit more isolated but is much more dramatic with a height of 80 meters. You will find plenty of the locals here on Thai holidays as they all love a dip in the cool stream waters.

Always be sure to take note of the season when you are visiting the waterfalls as in rainy season a heavy downpour can make these waterfalls a bit dangerous so we would not advise visiting at that time.
