Sarika Waterfall — Attraction in Nakhon Nayok Province

Sarika Waterfall is a large waterfall located within Khao Yai National Park in Sarika Subdistrict, Mueang District, Nakhon Nayok Province. It is considered a major landmark of the province and is one of the most popular natural attractions near Bangkok. The waterfall cascades down 9 levels, with the highest cliff reaching approximately 100-200 meters. Water flows down in tiers through rock crevices into pools below, creating multiple small cascades. The area is surrounded by lush greenery and abundant forest, offering visitors a refreshing natural atmosphere. Each level has shallow pools suitable for swimming and playing in the water. Getting to Sarika Waterfall is convenient, being only about 2 hours from Bangkok by car, and the walk from the service point to the waterfall is quite short. There are numerous restaurants available where visitors can dine by the waterfall. For those with a national park passport, stamps are available from the friendly park staff. The site is ideal for a day trip or weekend getaway from the capital, making it accessible for those seeking a quick escape to nature. The best time to visit is during the rainy season (July-December or August-November) when the waterfall has abundant water flow and looks most spectacular. During the dry season, water levels drop significantly and may even dry up completely, leaving only rocks visible. Visitors who went in mid-February reported very little water, though park rangers kindly warned them beforehand about the low water conditions. It's highly recommended to check water levels before planning your visit to avoid disappointment. Summary: Sarika Waterfall is an excellent natural destination for those looking to escape the city without traveling far from Bangkok. The waterfall's 9-tier cascade and natural pools offer a refreshing experience, but timing is crucial—visit during the rainy season to see it at its best. With easy accessibility, nearby dining options, and a relaxing atmosphere, it's perfect for nature lovers seeking a convenient day trip, as long as you plan your visit when water...

Absolute disappointment from the start. Vendors and other individuals practically stand in the middle of the road while approaching, and confuse drivers not knowing what they want, when all they are after is to sell you something. Reaching the destination and parking the car is manned by people and costs THB40. However, there is an entry fee of THB40 for locals, and asked me to pay THB200 as a foreigner and not accepting any means of identity other than a Thai ID card (the blue color), and being a long term resident didn’t make a difference. I just don’t understand why this discrimination. I refused to pay for something I find not worthy. So disappointing and a let down. I drove back with...

I visited here on 10th October 2020. Price for Thai is 40 baht per adult and 20 baht for child. For foreigner it is 200 baht for adult and 100 baht for child. However, if married to a beautiful Thai wife and have a work permit, you'll pay the Thai price, 40 baht for entrance. It also maybe due to covid 19 that the ticket officer was just being nice knowing would likely refuse to enter if otherwise. It is a nice waterfall and regardless of price, it is worth noting that this waterfall area has been well maintained. So your money is going to good use. Due to COVID-19, it is not required to wear a mask but is recommended. The best time to come here is 8am...
