As the Khao Lak area is bordered to the east by the mountains of the Khao Sok National Park, there are many waterfalls to explore in the immediate countryside. Most are at their best from August – November, once the rainy season kicks in proper.

Many of the waterfalls are situated in National Parks, meaning a 100-baht ticket payable at the gate – but this ticket affords access to all the area’s parks on the day of issue.

In most cases there’s a trek involved so make sure to wear insect repellent and good shoes otherwise in some cases you will not be able to reach your destination. Most waterfalls under Forest Rangers’ jurisdiction are open from 08:00 – 16:30
