If you’re visiting the mountain this is a must do. Beautiful scenery, you can take amazing pictures and most importantly sit down and enjoy the sound of the waterfall. It’s very relaxing, luckily not many people when we visited.

I seem to understand by reading reviews that there is an entrance fee but we were not charged any.
Includes this in your itinerary 👍

Vibrant waterfall✨
It’s best to visit around December to February. We visited here in the month of February & the scenery was perfect. You can as well see rainbows. There were many tourists on the weekend but still found a spot to take photos.

This waterfall is so easy to access. Drive 600 meters from the main road and park right by the water. Very dramatic falls. There was so much water coming over the falls that just getting close enough for photos, I was as wet as if I'd been in the rain. Good facilities at the parking area, including toilets, food sellers, restaurants, and a coffee shop. Good coffee, by the way.

The waterfall, situated within the national park, requires a fee of 300 baht per person to enter the park area. The waterfall itself is incredibly beautiful and highly recommended to visit. It truly captivates the senses, making it hard to leave.

Powerful and impressive waterfall. Better to bring an umbrella or rain coat because there was too much water spray. We went there by our own rental car and there were available parking lots. Entering the national park fee adults:300, child:150, car:30, baby:free. This is the entrance fee for the national park and you can visit all areas in the national park.

I recently visited Wachirathan Waterfall and was absolutely mesmerized by its beauty. This natural wonder is a true gem that left me in awe.

The powerful rush of water and the soothing sounds it creates provide a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature

One of the standout features of Wachirathan Waterfall is its easy accessibility. It's incredibly convenient to reach, making it a perfect destination for everyone

Additionally, the surrounding area offers mouthwatering food options, adding to the overall experience

I must say i love this waterfall. If you visit between morning to 12pm you can witness a rainbow. Be ready to get wet if you get close to the waterfall. The waterfall is about a KM away from the main road. There is parking available. You can find food stalls and a coffee shop too. Washrooms are available too.

This was part of a tour visiting multiple spots in the park.

We visited during a very rainy period and the waterfall was very violent. Beautiful!

The waterfall is easy to reach as there is a parking lot not even 100m away. Stone steps guide you all the way to the edge with enough safety railings to keep even the most clueless tourist safe.

There are some shops with food, ponchos (not a must but if you want to get close you will get wet) and souvenirs.

You can also find some facilities, not the cleanest, but free to use.

We spent half an hour here, more than enough for some photos and sightseeing.

Majestically magnificent waterfall! It is huge, and so near! Hence, get ready for splashes from nature, which is very cooling.

Not allowed to swim / soak there as the waters are very fast.

Amazing place!
I randomly reserved a local tour on klook (a tour platform in Taiwan), never thought I will see heaven.
It looks beautiful but quite normal when standing in front of the waterfall, magnificent, but not so special.
But, It's totally different in photos. Please do take a lot of photos, it's worth it!!

Beautiful and big fall with strong water flow. Environmental temperature is 10 degree and water droplets touching face is really cool. There are fences to make safe for children and stone steps are not slipping.

This waterfall is beyond amazing, it is huge and has a permanent full rainbow underneath it where the water is crashing down if you visit at the right time of day during sunny weather (we visited around 2 p.m.). I have visited countless waterfalls all over the world but this one is just top notch, easy access, no entrance fee, highly recommended to visit just after rainy season to view in it's full glory.

Absolutely amazing and incredibly wonderful waterfall 😍 and definitely worth a visit 😍😍

I don't know why all the people are writing about 300 THB Nationalpark entry fee or 150THB waterfall entry.....

We drove from Chiang Mai to the waterfall the official way.... And we didn't paid anything.....

We stopped at the "Gate" of the National park and no one said or asked for anything so we continued driving and at the waterfall we just parked our scooter and walked the 10 m to the waterfall and again, no one said or asked about any entry fee.... So we didn't pay anything at all which I was surprised after I read that so many people paid for it.....

Absolutely an oasis of natural beauty. I felt like I was engulfed by serenity. This is a perfect place to feel nature and see the miraculous art that the earth has to see and feel. It was absolutely a trip worth having .

I have seen several waterfalls and this is one of the good ones. Plus it’s not much of a climb to see the full view. I guess, anyone can have a view of it with basic fitness levels.

If you are an explorer, you can further go to the downstream which provides a unique view and perspective of the fall, as you cannot view the falls entirely from this point. But still a nice relaxing place.
