A hidden gem in Phuket's green oasis
Deep in the heart of Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, one of Thailand's last pristine rainforest areas, lies the stunning Ton Sai Waterfall. Surrounded by lush greenery and exotic vegetation, this natural wonder invites adventurers and nature lovers to discover its mysterious beauty.
A waterfall like something out of a dream
Ton Sai Waterfall is not only known for its majestic splendor, but also for its rich birdlife. Watch colorful native birds, such as the Red-bellied Malkoha and the Long-tailed Drongo, which have made their home in the trees above the waterfall. And if you're lucky, you might even spot the rare White-backed Palm, a palm species endemic to Thailand that can only be found here.
Adventures along the way
The journey to Ton Sai Waterfall is an experience in itself. A 2km well-signposted trail takes you through the rural landscape and rubber plantations that become more impressive the closer you get to the waterfall. And if you're ready for a bigger challenge, you can explore the 600-meter nature trail or discover the 2-kilometer hiking trail along the stream.
Entry into another world
The price for this unparalleled experience? 400 baht per person. A small amount for the opportunity to enter another world where time stands still and nature is in full splendor. Visit Ton Sai Waterfall after the rainy season when the waterfall can be seen in all its might, or during the burn season when temperatures are high and air quality is poor - a visit you'll never forget.
