Namtok Phlio National Park

Namtok Phlio is a national park in Chanthaburi Province featuring multiple waterfall tiers that cascade through natural rock formations surrounded by thick forest. The water pools beneath each level create natural swimming areas nestled among boulders and tropical vegetation.

The area was declared a protected national park by the Thai government in 1975 to preserve the waterfalls and forest ecosystems. This designation safeguarded the natural environment for future visitors and wildlife.

Local residents maintain their traditional fishing methods in designated areas of the park, passing down techniques through multiple generations of families.

The park has marked hiking trails leading to different waterfall levels and swimming areas in natural pools. Facilities include restrooms and picnic spots available throughout the year for visitors of all abilities.

The waters flowing through Namtok Phlio remain at consistent temperatures year-round, creating distinct microclimates that support rare species of butterflies.
