This park is known for the Ton Chongfa waterfalls, which are beautiful, but it requires some tough hiking to see all 5 falls. I would definitely recommend wearing good hiking shoes or closed toed hiking sandals as the trails are very rough at the end of the main trail to access the falls. The first kilometer or so of the trail is well developed and easy to hike, and you can see the first waterfall that is easy to access just off the trail. At the start of the trail to the last 4 falls, there is a difficult stream crossing with large rocks, and a rope across to help you. You may have to wade across. It may be easier to do in the dry season, though. The trails between the last 4 falls are steep, rocky, and often very muddy, so be prepared. It will take you at least 2 hours or more to hike to all of the falls and back to the entrance, so take some water with you. I would definitely not recommend taking children on the rough trails, as it is very easy to get injured from a slip or fall. The entrance fee is 100 baht per person, and the only parking available is on the street next to the entrance. We very much enjoyed seeing all of the falls, and if you are in the mood for a rough hike, then be sure to see...

Read moreWe walked from our accommodation on Taonga beach to the Small Sandy Beach entrance. We hadn't done our research on entrance price and were charged what we later found out to be double the national park fee. We appreciated the gatekeepers entrepreneurial approach, haha. We hiked down to the beach, which was picturesque and well signposted about jellyfish/stinger dangers for this time of year. This meant we couldn't swim, but it was nonetheless worth visiting. We then followed the track along the coastline and exited from the Khao Lak side/main entrance side. We are very fit, and found the trail fairly easy but could see that the terrain in places would be challenging if you experience mobility/fitness issues. We spotted a beautiful Asian monitor, heard lots of birdsong, loved the canopy of green and the ocean vista. Highly recommend this...
