Bang Pae Waterfall is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, 83110, Thailand
We really wanted to swim in a jungle waterfall on our trip to Phuket, and we did! Was a nice walk up to the falls and plenty of places for a cool dip, although read the signs as some areas are very slippery. We also found the gibbon monkey rehabilitated centre on our way back to the car park. This was informative but very underwhelming. Couldn’t really see any monkeys. But the idea is good.
For the number of tourists who visit Phuket, surprisingly few seem to venture out into the National Park. Yes, it takes a bit of effort to get there, but the effort is worth it. It costs Baht 200 to drive into the car park. There is a steepish rocky walk up to the Bang Pei waterfall itself. Local kids delight in jumping and swimming in the pools below the falls. A pleasant walk through jungle, but the rocks can be sticky, so the path is not for folks with weak knees !
During our holidays in Phuket we had visited this waterfall located inside Khao Phra Thaeo National Park. Foreign tourists are required to pay 200 baht entrance fee for the forest. This small waterfall is located at a walking distance from the parking area just after the Gibbon rehab center. This is more of a natural mountain stream flowing over the rocks making a beautiful sight and not really a waterfall as such.
Lovely natural waterfall in beautiful rain forest. The path to reach it is uneven and not recommended for those who are not steady on their feet, but the unspoilt nature is worth the short hike to it.
Lovely walk from the carpark at about 500M, not the 300 as stated. Shoes recommended although the walk is much less strenuous than many other waterfalls and has a path all the way up. Not much flow at this time of year but I suspect better once the wet season is in full swing. And just lovely to be in Phuket’s last rainforest.
Great walk into the jungle along a path. Takes about 15 minutes to get to the waterfall. Not a massive waterfall but very fast running and narrow. Ends in a narrow swimming gorge. 200 baht entrance is ok. Helps the Covid recovery.
April 2023 had been especially dry and hot. The waterfall at the edge of town, which had been a popular tourist destination for years, was now nothing more than a trickle of water, barely visible.Infect with such situation, the entrance fees is 400 Baht.The waterfall was never the same. My picts will do the talking.
Nice beautiful surroundings. Not an easy trip on the way to the top to see the waterfall. However, once you’re there it’s worth the effort. There is a shop at the start of the ascent. Suggest you stock up on drinks! As you walk your way up to the top.
A fairly short hike up to the waterfall through the jungle on an easy path, maybe 500m. The waterfall itself is beautiful and you can swim at the base. Cost 400 baht to get into the National Park but was worth it.
Robbery! minus ten! A moneypit! DONT GO!!!400 Bath/person for what? To see a very small so called waterfall.In Sweden we would call that a small stream, or a rill.
The price is double this year respect the last (400bth), the place is with some waste, i think with this money they can clean better. The waterfall is tiny but nice. The water not transparent. They just cut trees leaving it on the border of the street. The fun fact is that i think in the past could go up on the waterfall (the little street is) but there is a massive tree fallen i think a year ago still there, and they just closed the street. I think that that the old price (200bth) was just enough for what i have seen. Ps the orango tan school was closed the Monday that i went.
