Mae Yen Waterfalls is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking 58130, Thailand
Unfortunately, they wanted to charge 300 baht entrance fee which I wasn’t prepared to pay. Its not that it’s practically nothing, it’s more along the lines of my principals.
We did the hike to the mae yen waterfall with 6 persons. The hike is great, not hard for us but for some definately challenging. One of us did it completly on flip flops but I would definatly recommend to wear quick drying shoes. We did not saw snakes unfortunate but we did see some lizards, bugs and frogs. There is one steep part but it is only 10 min and very doable.
This waterfall is beautiful and lots of fun to swim in. We didn’t see this mentioned elsewhere – but for tourists it is 100 baht to enter.
plenty of places to relax and swim, but will be crowded in high season. worth a visit if you like waterfalls
Whilst a daunted traveller may initially believe that buying a trek tour is the best option when planning a hike, the trail to the Mae Yen Waterfalls needs no guide. Despite being relatively inexperienced backpackers, my friend and I decided to brave the trek on our own – one of the best choices we’ve made thus far! The trail is very easy to follow and idyllic the entire way to the falls (although it requires a lot of jumping over rocks across the stream as you go!). It is also (for the most part) an easy walk – the undulating terrain and constant stream-crossings make it taxing and interesting but it is not perilous in any way! It took us 3 hours to get to the Mae Yen Waterfalls (with the last 30 mins involving an extremely steep incline) and 2hrs 30 on the way back. The waterfall itself was lovely, refreshing and not too busy and the sheltered forest keeps you cool the majority of the way. We left at 10am and had returned to the entrance to the hiking trail by 4:30pm, spending the hotter part of the day by the waterfall. A lovely day out and a great hike which needs no guide!
Favourite day in Pai- Me and my partner absolutely loved the hike to Mae Yen waterfall. It is relatively flat as mentioned in other reviews but does have a steep incline near to the end for ten/fifteen mins. We are relatively fit and have hiked before and it took us 2 hours each way- the path, once you find the starting point, is relatively easy to follow, crossing the river many times! (I am unaware if there are other routes) We started from Wonderland camping site- this for some reason does not come up on google maps app but does come up when you search google maps online and hired a moped to get there from Pai town. From here we crossed the stream, went across a field and through banana plantation and across the stream again to then follow the river most of the way, crossing it many times until you reach the marked sign. (When you get to the sign that says 1 hour steep bypass to the waterfall do not let it put you off, it took us about 30 mins from this point.)The jungle is beautiful and the waterfall at the end is just as lovely- it was not deep enough to swim but a quick dip to cool off and admire the surroundings was rewarding after the hike. I would recommend to wear lightweight trainers that you don’t mind getting wet or suitable walking shoes that you can cross the stream in- personally I would not opt for flip flops! Highly recommend this hike it was a highlight of our trip to Thailand
One of the waterfalls we went to the country and really worth it,the place is proper jungle and in February it had sufficient water flow to “identify ” it like Waterfall!.Go for a picnic or just to mediate a bit or just to chill!..
We took about 2 1/2 hours there and about 2 hours back. We had a little difficulty finding the “start point” on google maps but there are two options and we found one to start and the second on return. It’s a beautiful forest walk.You have to cross mainly ankle deep river about 20 times each way so be prepared for wet feet. There are times when you wonder briefly if you’ve missed a path or a river crossing but you soon pick it up. There are a few narrow bits and plenty of fallen trees to climb over.When you get to the sign saying 1 hour steep diversion because the other route is unsafe please note – it is steep for a short while but it is only 20 minutes to the waterfall and there is a beautiful cascading waterfall that you can swim in at the end. It’s blinking cold mind you! It’s about a total of a 10km each way hike.
We enjoyed the hike from Pai up until a point. The hike is really beautiful and the path was fairly easy to follow until about an hour and a half in and then we struggled. It looks like rain has done damage to the vegetation and the path was not clearly marked and covered by huge trees and bushes. We tried to follow the river to get to the waterfall but it wasn’t easy and not much fun so we turned back. 12km of hiking but no waterfall…
The path was relativley obscured due to the mudslides, and there was a sign saying the trial was closed. Went on any way and it was well worth it. Definitly not super easy in some parts, but not at any point dangerous. Mostly flat until a good 1 hour stairlike hill up. For me it was 3 hours both ways but i was in flip flops and taking my time.Waterfall was very impressive and sounded nice.BRING WATERPROOF SHOES OR FLIP FLOPS OR SANDLES.FOLLOW THE RIVER TO FINS PATHS.TEST SAND BEFORE STEPPING INTO IT.WATERPROOF VALUEABLES.!! WATER IS COMPULSORY KNEE HIGH IN JANUARY!!( for 5 11)
