Read moreThailand biggest waterfall and the 6th biggest in the world. Should only be visited during the dry season (winter) the roads can not be driven during the rainy season.

The locals told me I cannot go with a bike and while the road is in mediocre condition there are only 2 or 3 parts where it is hard at all. I did not verify with the park rangers if they also ban bikes going in. This can save you a huge amount of money, a pickup to go there is 2,500 Baht for 2 slow, 30km, 40...
